I once told an Algerian Army (PNA) guard who stopped us at a checkpoint along the Tunisian border that I was Cornhoilio and this delay was offending my bunghole. He had no idea what I was talking about.

That's hilarious.
 
In Singapore one night my friends and I were drinking Singapore Slings at Raffles when we found ourselves a little short of money to buy another round so we started with the "Do you know who we are" stuff along with "I'm going to have to get my samoyan lawyer involved" and " We are here for the races. We have a Vincent Black Shadow in the basement" Somehow we got to run a bar tab until we could track down our tech rep for a loan 🤣

I don't know what any of that means, but cool!
 
There is another LT classic that has EF and BB in a medical opera/ply of sorts that is just freaking hilarious.

OH!! and "The Rabbit of Seville"....

The funny part is by telling him my name was Cornholio, his interpretation was that I was important. It's a cultural thing. Like boldly saying... Do you know who I am?

I'm pretty sure Beavis and Butthead had not yet been syndicated over there.

Did you preface that with "The Great..."? :D

I forgot all about B&B for more recent viewing. The "new" episodes that are out feature them as middle-aged (and still losers). :)
 
I admit to being inspired by pilots who were dropping bombs on Saddam's empire back in the day. They would let one go and exclaim, "Homey don't play that". A catchphrase from Homey D. Clown from the show In Living Color. Or "Oh no! It's Sluggo" from SNL's Mr. Bill skit.

I don't use the term deployed because it suggests military. But when I was assigned or temporarily dispatched to some of these God awful places in North Africa, some gallows humor helps. These were not war zones like the Middle East, but civil wars were going on between tribal factions or their dictatorship governments vs. rebels all the time. The latter being mostly muslim fanatics who chant Death to America every day.

You had to be bold and not show any weakness when local thugs or armed paramilitary shitheads challenged you. I'll be intentionally dramatic in stating that they need to believe you are in authority or crazier than they are. We were civilians armed with light weapons. Always outnumbered. We very rarely rolled in with Marines in Hummers with a Gecal 50 the roof.
 
Not Sluggo!! He always hurts meeee

“Let’s go camping Mr Bill”

Narrator puts Mr Bill into a Barbie Trailer and hooks it to the hitch of a car and takes it down the road, mercilessly destroying it….

I have been to Raffles. A classy artifact of British colonialism. I'm not surprised. They get whales in that place from all over the world and were probably making sure they didn't offend. I observed some very high end 'escorts' there more than once. You need to be in the 8 figures ballpark to enjoy their company. I was a little short. :)
 
Here's Rollie Free rolling at 150MPH at Bonniville in 1948 on one

The infamous ‘bathing suit’ photo of Rollie Free doing 150mph on a Vincent Black Shadow in 1948. He claimed stripping to his trunks gave him 2.3mph, enough to reach the magic 150.
