years ago I was reading soldier Of Fortune magazine in the breakroom at work on lunch. the inevitable ad selling "be a man among men - rhodesian army" shirts shows up. the guy across from me in a thick african accent says "rhodesia..I remember rhodesia...damn shame what the commies did to her"
he fishes around in his pocket and says "let me show you something" and comes out with this small pin that looks like an owl.
it took me a second to recognize it, it was pretty worn..but I asked him "were you a selous scout?" he nods and smiles "oh, you know about us?"
I talked to that guy for months. he had some great stories. those "it's just africa" stories of people kept stupid because stupid people are easier to rule over.
Vet yells to his assistant, - Hey there is no Bitcoin in here!
ReplyDeleteActually, he says "I said a butt light, not a Bud Light!"

That shirt is exactly where I stole the phrase.
