He was amazed at all the initials that followed all the British names on their memos...every one of them had a series of initials behind them. One night he signed a memo, "CAPT D. Gallery, DDTM". He continued doing that for weeks.
He remarked that his British allies suddenly treated him more respectfully until one day he was cornered and asked what exactly was the DDTM.
"Dan, Dan the Toilet Man".
For some reason this struck me as incredibly funny.
Reminds me a bit of when I was in school and went to a karate match. To keep from paying I walked in right behind a karate team and told the ticket taker I was the team's "spiritual leader". Maybe he believed me or simply thought it wasn't worth the hassle to see if I was telling the truth. Got in for free.
