Another military joke
~~~~~WARNING~~~~~SLIGHLTLY OFF COLOR
The young ensign approached the crusty old chief and asked
him about the origin of the commissioned officer insignias.
"Well, Ensign, it's history and tradition. First, we give you
a gold bar representing that you're valuable BUT malleable.
The silver bar of a lieutenant junior grade represents value,
but less malleable. When you make lieutenant, you're twice
as valuable so we give you two silver bars.
"As a captain, you soar over military masses, hence the eagle.
As an admiral, you're obviously a star. That answer your
question?"
"Yes, Sir. But what about commanders and lieutenant commanders?"
"Now that goes waaaaaay back in history. Back to the Garden
of Eden even. You see, we've always covered our pricks with
leaves... "
