@booger saidI've had at least half a dozen posters diagnose me as mentally ill, complete [in some cases] with links to internet resources about mental health and specific illnesses. Just in 2022, for example, Suzianne, Kevin Eleven, josephw, sonship, and PB1022. Are there any certified "mental health practitioners" among us to post disapprovingly about forum banter of this kind?
I've had two doctors call me a sociopath.
@booger saidIf I could pick a war in which to be a "soldier", I suppose it would be the Culture War. I don't "want to soldier" on any other battlefield. And I say that in the full knowledge that Republican Party voters died on Omaha Beach in 1944 so that I would be free to go to the Superindo supermarket behind the Sultan's Palace here in Yogyakarta to buy papaya and jackfruit.
Which means what?
Speak like a soldier who wants to soldier.
@FMF
I already know the answer.
Your answer is lacking in spirit.
After I scored highly on the aptitude/I.Q. tests I was put in a room with three military personnel.
They said I qualified for three positions.
Truck Mechanic. Nope.
Tank Mechanic. Nope.
Tas-Op... what's Tas-Op I say...
Tas-Op is the guy who listens for other submarines.
Apparently I have great hearing and logic skills.
They gave me a date to meet with the doctor and she asked me why I chose Tas-Op.
I said in a submarine you have to be perfect. Whoever shoots last loses. You have to be perfect.
I remember it like yesterday.
Many years ago I worked in W.Africa with a chap who had spent time in an asylum.
He was Irish. I can't remember where the asylum was located, somewhere in N.Africa I think.
Anyway, when he was finally discharged from said asylum he was given a certificate to say he was now sane.
He carried this with him and proudly showed it to everyone he met asking if they could prove that they were sane.
