Partially agree here. At work I see the types who have to make sure
evryone at a party knows they are a pilot. They drive around town
running errands 3 hours before sign in IN their uniforms

FWIW, I know firefighters, mail carriers, a UPS driver, a FedEx
driver
and a riverboat pilot that do the same.


True. Some would be just too lazy to change, of course!

In fact I know firefighters that wear something related to
firefighting, like a "DC Collapse Unit" t-shirt, EVERY day.


That's a bit creepy, alright. If you've ever had the opportunity to
have
to be consoled for some really major trauma, the feeling that comes
from
having someone show you some genuine sympathy is intense, to say the
least. It's a physical reaction, obviously designed to encourage the
person to seek out the assistance of the tribe in hard times and it
feels as good as an orgasm, or what I might imagine a shot of an
opiate
might feel like. I'm sure lots here have felt it. It's not hard to
see
how it might become addictive, in fact. I've got a notion that it's
probably the reason that people with Munchausen and it's related
ailments do what they do.

What a crock of ****. Are you quoting your brother Dudley directly.


Nope. Personal experience, fjukktard.
And there are several peole here aware of that experience and so realise
what a ninny you are.

Not that that would be much of a revelation.
