Why don’t they just say “Hors D’oevres” and “Wine”?

“Eat before you come” sounds so crass. Like, we can’t afford to feed you because we spent $14 Million on our Hawaiian romp.

Functions hosted on base by the Missile Wing always advised that they would serve “light refreshments.” That pretty much made it clear you would need to eat before you show.

My overseas unit were directed to bring a flight to march in a parade for the deactivation of a numbered Air Force activity. Afterwards, our First Sergeant advised us that we were specifically “Not Invited” for refreshments afterwards. This isn’t that crass, but it’s really trying...
