When I was born, my parents were given a notice of registration of birth. It had nothing else, just “we are telling the state he was born.” My father guarded it conscientiously and told me to never lose it. Turned out that it was useless and decades later I had to contact the state to get a real one.
I’m not talking about the military. I’m talking about the gun nuts grabbing every round they could get their hands on. For 8 years you couldn’t buy a box of .22s unless you camped out in front of a sporting goods store for days.
A man who goes to his wife to fix a clogged drain, sigh. Male cartoonists are always picking on men, but female cartoonists never pick on women. It’s a regular stock-in-trade; it gets boring and silly.
The most annoying is you, Miller. I have said this many times, there are no periods in SOS. SOS doesn’t stand for anything. It doesn’t mean “save our souls” or “save our ship” or any such rot. SOS is an international distress call and this may come as a surprise to you, but not everyone in the world speaks English. The first country to use SOS was Germany, but SOS doesn’t work in German, it would be RUS and the French would be sending SNN, so much for an international distress call. My gosh, don’t those idiots know how to speak English? SOS was adopted long before there was voice radio communications at all, just radio telegraphy. SOS was adopted because it is quickly recognized in Morse code, 3 dots 3 dashes 3 dots. Check out the movie “A Night to Remember”, the Morse actually legitimate. Look up SOS in Wikipedia.
