Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

[joepole]

Looks like somebody else read the snopes article, as well. I'll add:

>The first six months of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone, nor watch TV.

>They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb

>[they] live in a barracks under the tomb

>[they] cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives.

>They cannot swear in public for the rest of their lives

None of that is true except for not being allowed (like anyone in the military) to drink alcohol when on duty. They can do whatever they want (including swearing and drinking) when off duty.

I am starting to believe the rumor I read that you are actually Brainsmashr's child.

We may both be dicks, but at least I'm smart. That dude was full-on retarded.

[Pocahontas]

BS thought of himself as smart too!

Yes private Dickpole you did have some things in common with BSr matter of fact quite a few but even on a bad day you could not keep up with white trash like BSr.

>BS thought of himself as smart too

Probably, but he was demonstrably wrong with incredible frequency. I'm almost always right.

I see no comparison between BSR and joe. BSR was trolling for search engine ranking for his website. Joe is a normal person who prides himself in being accurate as possible.

[AnimeSpirit]

Though somewhat opinionated at times and willing to say things the rest of us probably wouldn't say in public, Joe does have some accurate input.

I believe your description of Joe is your opinion. I'm somewhat scared to ask what your definition of normal is.

I sure you are a real pleasure to work with

[joepole]

I've worked here for abut nine years so I must not be too bad. You wouldn't want to work with someone who was right almost all of the time?

>Joe is a normal person who prides himself in being accurate as possible.

In the interests of accuracy I have to point out that I am certainly not normal. If I'm considered normal (or if any of you people are) then this country is in trouble.
