once, my dad, us marine corps master/gunnery sargeant robert l. miller,
ordered me to sweep out the garage. he gave me an old kitchen broom to
do the job. when he left me in the garage, i immediately discarded the
old broom and located the huge push broom my grandfather used in his
sweeping and i then used it. sgt miller, on his return, angrily chided
me for "always looking for the easy way". i hated him and his comment
then, thinking it a "crock"...but, you know, he mighta had a point.

Did he make you clean latrines with a toothbrush, too?
