What Do We Call Ourselves?

[Capt. R]

My wife calls my uniforms "your dead German friends." It cracks me up. "close the closet door so your dead German friends don't escape." How ridiculous. They'd never try to escape. They like it in there!

How about "Swas-ologist?"

or, "Swastique conservator" - meaning, A preserver of Antiques emblazoned with swastikas?

I tell the lowly plebs (if they dare ask) I am either a:

SSOAC-OLOGIST

or

SSAR-OLOGIST


a cyber cookie for anyone who can guess them ..... the "ologist" part obviously comes from:

Now where is that butler? "James - bring the Tiger tank around to the front door - and load an AP round - I feel like shooting the neighbor's cat. "

SSOAC= Society for the study of ancient cultures

SSAR= Society for the study of Amphibians and Reptiles

Am I right??

I'm simply a collector.

My girl calls my collection those "smelly old hats". Woman can make everything that's important in your life seem pointless in 3 words! A few more examples. According to her I have a "damn ugly car" and a "dead end job" and also that I'm getting "lazy and fat".
