  1. Some I’ve heard but never knew who spoke or wrote them. Thanks !

  2. I think that the frequency of “Hold my beer.” events declines with age.
    I can’t attribute that so anybody, and I wonder if we are getting wiser, or just that the really stupid have been killed off.

  3. > “The only mystery in life is why the kamikaze pilots wore helmets.”

    It was part of the uniform. It was *regulations*. Flying without a helmet would be like flying without an airplane; ridiculous.

    The hachimaki (scarf) wasn’t regulation, but it was a cultural thing beyond the military, so the higher-ups didn’t prohibit them.

    Hmm, it looks like nobody is selling a yellow “Don’t Tread on Me” hachimaki. I guess I’ll have to make one…
