The safety warning on the back of the stand was very realistic in appearance and warned that while the device is on standing behind the device for more than 5 seconds could have serious side effects on a persons health including "Simultanious Diarhea and constipation, Elephantitis of the reproductive organs, lesions and boils on the Onychophagia (fingernails though we didn't put that tidbit of information on the sign), irritation of the Sciatic nerve resulting in deafness and exploding eyeballs, and radiation damage to the nervous systems." We then went on to indicate that ingesting the device while powered could result in electrical shock and that inhaling the steam from the device during rain showers could have mind altering side effects. All in all we thought it was funny. Medical didn't though. They recieved several calls asking for check-ups and if it would require surgery to check for lesions and boils on their Onychophagia. They actually had a couple of soldiers complaining of pressure behind their eyes and would the nurse speak up because it was hard to hear them. Our punishment was base clean-up for a month. (Just for everybodies reference a Recieve Only Satelite dish does emit radiation, but only reflected radiation from the front of the disk. Do NOT stand in front of a satelite dish that has been zeroed in on a satelite as this CAN cause serious long term harm. This is why we put the big easy to read sign on front and the small hard to read sign on BACK. Jokes like this are only truly funny if no one actually gets hurt.) Captcha: side stirred... The newest thing at Starbucks...

I noticed that some of the hillsides were bare (TERRIBLE for erosion control. Bad drought around here, and you could still see rivulets in the dirt) and that the trees all had mounds of pine straw around their bases. I found it stupid, said as much to my friend (a captain, btw), and asked how this crap came to pass. I forget the rank of the person (sgt major?? maybe) he gave, but his answer was 'what [person] says, [person] gets' "You mean even if it's completely wasteful and pointless, and counterproductive?" "Have you forgotten you're on a military base?" I was at bragg some months ago, with a friend.

“You mean even if it’s completely wasteful and pointless, and counterproductive?”

“Have you forgotten you’re on a military base?”
