Hi.

   Apparently I'm 5 posts away from being a "Hero Member".   Is it true that high ranking members can change their background to something that isn't bright white?  I'll have that please.

Best Wishes.

I once asked a science question to someone that outranked me, and their reply was "how dare you speak to me!"

As a civilian, I don't have to take orders from the military because I outrank them.

Once I had to phone someone in the military - the person answering the phone can't see your rank, so I got a response ending with "sir?".
After I identified myself, I got the feeling that any rank outranked a civilian.

Heard on the firing range:

"Sarge, why do I keep missing to the left?"

"You 'ave not corrected for wind because you is a 'orrible little man wot cannot stay awake in my classroom, Your Highness, Sir."
