The fabulous takedown of this ‘military’ spouse deserves some kind of medal

Takedown of the week is surely this, an exchange in Facebook about a car sticker on Facebook – no, stick with us – that ended in fabulous fashion.

It turned out the military ‘rank’ wasn’t quite as impressive as it first appeared and, well, over to Redditor resilientspirit who said: ‘Enmeshed Military Spouse Slain.’

Shots fired!

‘I ran into one years ago. The conversation went like this.

“Oh really, what is his rank?”

“He is a first sergeant.”

“Ok. Well I was an officer. You can call me Sir.”

‘You will address ME as Florthwallamoor, Daimyo of Doodleburg, Third ruler of the 2nd realm of the Orbisphere, Assistant to the Assistant Commander of the Undergreat Lord Plox, Baron of all things shimmering between the Salty Mountains and the Rocky Sea, husband to a murdered Wanton, father to a murdered Croissant, and I shall have my breakfast…in silence!’
