Support Out Troops


The best typo I've seen in a while came from the Operation Yellow Elephant site...

"I hope that there are more folks out there showing up the Yellow Elephants. Yesterday, while travelling through an airport, there was a fat college boy with a "Support Out Troops" T-shirt on, and on the back was a picture of a squad in Iraq holding up a Texas A&M sign. Amazingly he was not in the picture...I guess he couldn't get away from his XBox fast enough to make it to the recruiter before they closed the office for the week."

Does this imply that Texas A&M has sent an all-gay unit to fight this Bush's war? There are all sorts of gay folk out there, so it does stand to reason...

In any case, maybe there is a place for that line of merchandise. Somebody's already selling Cafe Press "Support Out Troops" yellow ribbon stuff. Their take is "if you want our troops home." Mine goes back to the intention that got bastardised with "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

Click on the ribbon and you can get it on stuff, too!
