If aeolus is who I think he is, he exists and he's somewhere around 80 years old. He's either just a grouchy old bastard, or else he's just pulling the foro's chain. Maybe both. When I was in the infantry 51 years ago, "WTFO?" [for "WTF?, over"] was standard radio talk. Speaking of older guys, one of my great-uncles was a brigadier general in the U.S. Cavalry. He fought in WW I, and went to Mexico with Black Jack Pershing on his fruitless pursuit of Pancho Villa. His wife claimed that he got up in the morning cursing, cursed in every sentence all day, and went to bed without repeating himself. I can testify that his language was colorful, profane, and in many respects novel to me. On the wall in his study he had a framed official letter of reprimand from the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, issued for "language employed while admiring a lady's hat, in the presence of the wife of a United States Senator."
