I find that rather appropriate...

As a military man, you certainly would. The woman in questing has been fussing for years about getting an 'early out' retirement package. She's been passed over because she's too good at what she does. Her fussing reached a fever pitch this winter when she started brainstorming all the wild-child crazy things she should start doing to convince management that she really *needed* to retire: Changing hair color, wearing risque clothes, coming in late, etc.

One day she started brainstorming about getting a tattoo (now, understand she's a straight-laced good Baptist farmer's wife who quilts and cans and crochets...). We managed to talk her into temporary tattoos- which is what the gag gift was... of the U.S. Army Seal. :) She loves them. And has now threatened to wear one to the funeral she's attending this afternoon.

You know, once you get them Baptist's outta their box, there's no holdin' 'em back...
