Oh yeah? Well not to brag or anything- but I was the 301st Spartan Hopelite at Thermopylae.

No, not the squatty one with the forty pound wart on his back and a penchant for treason. The *secret* one. My orders were so classified that Herodotus never heard of it.

Now you know.

Ha! I’ve got you beat. I defended Bunker Hill and the Alamo. I charged Cemetery Ridge and San Juan Hill. I survived Pearl Harbor and the Song Tay raid. Not bad for a guy who is only 31, don’t you think? ;-)

Got you all beat. I charged up Cemetary Ridge with Garnet AND defended it with the II Corps...

...in the movie “Gettysburg,” as one of 3,000 extras;-)

Well, I was a Pink Beret... You'd be surprised how many surrendered to me!

Gadzooks! Did I say that... out loud?

You realize of course that now we must assume that you are gay like the other 300?
