....avoid spending credit money like a drunken sailor....


And how does a drunken sailor spend differently from a drunken marine or a
drunken soldier or a drunken airman or a drunken draft-dodger? Or do you
just have a thing about sailors?

You've never heard the term, Hans? since you took the time to write
this, I'll elaborate:

Sailors on leave have been known to be avery exciting bunch for years.
They spend a lot of their lives at sea, and when they get to land often
have a fair amount of discretionary cash to spend, and a lot of steam to
work off. So sailors often spend their money at an alarming pace, thus
the phrase.

And where did I refere to the Navy? A sailor is a generic term for:

1. One who serves in a navy or works on a ship.
2. One who travels by water.
3. A low-crowned straw hat with a flat top and flat brim.

It wasn't number three, so it was numbers one and two.

Or do you even have a clue, Mike?

Proudly serving my Navy and country since 1976.........

You wrote earlier:

Hans, even if you didn't refer to "sailor" as navy, and certainly within
the context of the statement, you referred to Marines, Soldiers, Airmen,
and even draft dodgers (hint: if you didn't, you need to arrange the
sentence differently)

but.......... The Marines are *indeed* part of the Navy, so yes, Hans,
you very much *did* mention Navy. (All apologies to the Marines in here
that know that the navy is actually a subset of the Marines! ) 8^) hehe.


Sunvuagun!

Huzzanga!
