Thanks to xoxoxoBruce for passing along this one along. It's presented without bias. The grimacing guy is a British police instructor, and the guy showing his affection is one of about 950 newly minted Iraqi police graduates who has just graduated from the makeshift police academy.

He wants that cool pretzel hat. So do I.:)

There is something very eeire about the calm expression on the Iraqi's face in contrast to the look of discomfort on the british instructors face.

I suggest we have a caption contest for this one. Pretend Undertoad hadn't explained the picture. Here's my entry:

How about we all take a nice trip... TO THE BATHROOM! *dun dun dun...*

Ok, can someone from England please explain the pretzel insignia.
xoxoxoBruce • May 19, 2004 10:52 pm
That's not a pretzel, thats a noose for male genitals.;)

I suspect it's an overhand knot, not a pretzel. Boy Scouts use a square knot. I guess British military just aren't up to that level yet.

I'll be worried when I see someone with a bowline insignia.

Yes, and American Boy Scouts love to wear those knot decorations and there are so many to choose from. Prior to WWII, American Scout leaders wore decortations much like military ribbons, but with returning soldiers becoming volunteers it was decided that it could get too confusing.

"Don't tell me what you did to me in that prison didn't mean anything to you?"

Man, seven years in Scouts, and I only got one of those knots.

Probably telling him he's joining the other 100 suckers that abandoned their posts in najaff.

That's my commander there...I can tell - he knows I cheated on him!


OK, that's really enough, folks. Let's move towards something with more robots, pizzas, and Rube Goldberg machines.
