« Cup o' Joe | Main | Netiquette »

Considering my complete lack of respect for authority figures, I wouldn't have lasted ten minutes in the army. But I've always had a secret fantasy of being a drill sergeant, and getting to yell at a new recruit who has made the mistake of addressing me as "sir":

"DON'T CALL ME SIR. I WORK FOR A LIVING!"

Yes, technically I know I would be a "ma'am," not a "sir," but it isn't as much fun to yell.

I also like saying, "HOO-yah." Just because.
