Just a reminder, there are no "laws" regarding the US flag, only

oh well.

In that section, most of the stuff is considered "customs." Note that there is
heavy use of the word "should" in many of the sections. Section 3 (using the
flag for advertising purposes), however, is obviously a law; it states that the
offense described is a crime and dictates the fine. As far as this reference is
concerend, Blanche seems to be correct that not allowing the flag to touch the
ground (and similar customs) fall into the category of conventions.

Either "please, please, please" or "you're welcome, you're welcome, you're
welcome" depending on whether or not it's a reply to "danke."


I couldn't remember the movie, The Longest Yard (1962) was my guess.

GI asked the question to his GI buddies, of a surrendering Nazi...um,
.....*after* it was no longer an issue - IYKWIM.

Might have been Battle of the Bulge (1965) or Dirty Dozen (1967) or Patton
(1970) or.....

I think a Dodge Caravan will fit into the back of a C-123.

Just remember to take along a cylinder of compressed air to pump up any
"low" tires on the trailer when it is picked up.

Wasn't that a Burt Reynolds movie about convicts playing football?

Crap, I suppose you're right. We'll STILL have to transport the stuff
out to the campsite, somehow.

Wait -- a TRAILER! That's what we need! Keep all the supplies in a
trailer, inside the storage facility, throughout the year.

Then, when you come to OSH next year, you simply hook it up to your van
(which you have somehow magically transported onto the grounds, and
driven right up to the Exhibit halls without anyone noticing) and drive
it out to the North 40 -- where we won't have arrived yet!

You will then have to predict precisely where we will be camping, and
drop the load right *there*...

Okay, maybe there are some holes in the plan here...but we'll fill 'em
somehow!

:-)

This is getting complicated. We're going to need to hire some interns or
something.

He star'd in both of them...

Which is hysterically
funny, because the only "approved in the rules" method of destroying
a worn-out US flag is by burning.

No, there's no logic.

Correctly burning a flag to dispose of it involves separating the different
parts, such as the red stripes, the white stripes, and the blue field and
stars. Only after they are separated, are they burned.

He was most certainly not in the Longest Day.

.... and is also valid only in DC.
