Ask me about ninjas!
And they're banned from being worn by US personnel in Iraq. Still funny, though.

What about the Reagan shirts, boy-o? I hope you're not dissin' my man Ronnie.

Funny story: When we were in Saudi, we had flightsuit nametags made with Arabic translations below our names. For one particular hinge, his translation read "Anti-Christ" in Arabic. He was none the wiser until one of the Saudi officers pointed at his nametag and started laughing. He was livid.

Not at all. I too am a fan of Mr. Reagan. Just saying that THIS SHIRT is one of my favorites and some time or the other I need to wear it around school to piss off the hippies who infest it.

I think they should be issued... and we should dip all our rounds in pigs blood... Send those fvuckers to hell, I think this has worked in the past...;)

Rep points to whoever can name what big name used this approach in the past.

Is it just me or does the model wearing the Reagan shirt look like Heidi Fleiss?

I once saw an editorial of some sort saying that we should just carry a small pig on all airline flights. That would probably put an end to the hijacking and crashing of jetliners. The idea that "martyring" oneself in a Semptember 11th style attack would instead send you to hell might make them think twice. I like the idea of using their own religious convictions against them... after all thats what we are truly fighting anyway right?

The short-term answer is holding the line with bombs and bullets. We'll lose this war on terror if that's our long-term answer as well.

The British Raj and animal grease:

There was quite a problem for the Brits in 1857 during the Sepoy Mutiny --- when using the greased paper cartridges in the Enfield Pattern rifle of 1853. It was rumored that the British were utilizing pig or beef grease --- which freaked out the Hindu and Muslim native soldiers -- a.k.a. Sepoys --- as they had to "bite" the paper end off the cartridge. This was in the period prior to metallic cartridges. :)

Thanks for the suggestion, but: That tactic doesn't work ... we've already tried it in the guise of senior Seattle flight attendants. :)
