Some time back, a lady approached me in a very unfriendly manner. "I hope you're qualified to wear that tartan!" I have no problem with friendly enquiries, but she was decidedly NOT friendly. So being the wiseacre I am, I reared back, looked down my nose, and said: " I am Geoffrey Leigh Withnell, member of Davidson Clan by descent and the agreement of my chief, head of the Withnell family by inheritance from my father and the acknowledgement of the family, U.S. Marine by proven military prowess, and US citizen by birth and the grace of God. May I have the privilege of knowing who is questioning my qualifications?" She didn't reply, just sputtered and walked away.
Geoff Withnell
"My comrades, they did never yield, for courage knows no bounds."
No longer subject to reveille US Marine.
