Let's see.

Mike is not George - check.

The Chief is gross in a 3rd grade kinda way - check

Mike is more gross and proud of it - check.

JTG has an obsessive compulsive need to excel and does so handily in this forum.

That's where I heard it. Speaking of which, my fingernails seem to be getting thinner and brittler as I get old. Hard to keep 'em long and smooth enough to root around in there efficiently. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/10/the_difference.html#comment-79801 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/10/the_difference.html#comment-79801 Wed, 29 Oct 2008 09:52:06 -0600

Wellsir, one night in the O'Club, George -- I'll call him George because that was his name -- and I were imbibing and the subject of Higher Edjamacation arose:

"Bill, after about the first week I met you, I could tell you're an ROTC grad."

"Howzat, George?"

"Easy -- you're military bearing is just a bit off, even though your posture's great; you have a camaraderie with your NCOs, although it never goes over the line into fraternization; your salute's just a bit *too* perfect; and you leave staff meetings immediately to go inspect the kitchen in your chow hall and the weapons in your arms room instead of sitting with the other commanders discussing the training schedule. You're not a *bad* officer, it's just, well, you just act like a Reservist, ya know?"

"Gee, thanks for that, George. It's funny, but the very first time I met you, I could tell you were a West Pointer."

"Ah. Was it the extra-sharp crease in my fatigues or the mirror-finish on my boots?"

"Neither. I saw your ring while you were picking your nose."
