I hate offended people. They come in two flavours - huffy and whiny - and it's hard to know which is worst. The huffy ones are self-important, narcissistic authoritarians in love with the sound of their own booming disapproval, while the whiny, sparrowlike ones are so annoying and sickly and ill-equipped for life on Earth you just want to smack them round the head until they stop crying and grow up. - Charlie Brooker

Thanks. We were both 17 when we went to Paris Island. I had to get my parent's signature before eI could enlist, because I wasn't 18.
I remember my Dad was eating supper when I walked in the door & handed him the papers. He looked at them, then at me, and jumped up real quick, got a pen, signed the papers & handed them back. He said, "Best damn thing that could ever happen to you boy!" Then went back to eating his supper. I was pretty much the poster child for juvenile delinquents.
