    148. Putting red “Mike and Ike's” ® into a prescription medicine bottle, and then eating them all in a formation is not funny.

    159. When detained by MP's, I do not have a right to a strip search.

    160. No part of the military uniform is edible.

    163. Take that hat off.

    165. I do not get “that time of month”.

    166. No, the pants are not optional.

    171. On training missions, try not to shoot down the General's helicopter.

    184. When operating a military vehicle I may *not* attempt something “I saw in a cartoon”.

    197. I am not allowed to sing “Henry the VIII I am” until verse 68 ever again.

    200. My chain of command is not interested in why I “just happen” to have a kilt, an inflatable sheep, and a box of rubber bands in the back of my car.

    103. My commander is not old enough to have fought in the civil war, and I should stop implying that he did.
