My thoughts: They can call ’em Betty, or Al. Or Space Cadets. Or little rocket men.

“The Air Force refers to its members as ‘Airmen,’ and the Army has ‘soldiers,'” the Space Force points out in a Thursday press release. But the newest branch of the military doesn’t know what to call its troops.”

Now THAT is good scouting. Beats the shit out of “capture the flag.”

I noticed that the security lines at O’Hare include an “amnesty box” for cannabis. In theory, one may drop off any pot carried through security, to prevent it from being sniffed by dogs in another country or state without legalized dope. OK, the idea is fine. It’s a good idea to avoid foreign prisons. I’ve seen “Midnight Express.” I get it. My only question is this: what happens to all the dope left in those boxes? Maybe it works like that episode of Seinfeld where they call in Newman to consume the excess muffins, except they call in Seth Rogan. (Or Snoop, or Willie Nelson, or Bill Maher. They probably have to keep all those guys on speed dial.)
