This joke has been around for along time and still makes me chuckle, wish it were true....... :mrgreen:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/snap-trapped/

In AZ, my son drove my pickup a lot and got caught in speed traps a few times. Because the truck was in my name,
they mailed the tickets to me. All I did was mail the ticket back with a copy of my license to prove it wasn't me in the
photo. Once I even mailed a copy of my wife's license because my son's girlfriend was driving. Never heard back from
them, even though there was a place on the form to put in the name of the person driving, I just left it blank.
And I told my son one more and I would fill in his name..... :mrgreen:

22199409 to 23188252 Blanco
23188253 to 23845071 Gillette Razors
23845072 to 24057159 Beatles

Basically Vern, you see the numbers. If your British Army Number was, for instance, 238455100 then you enlisted at a time when it was The Beatles era....... My Army number puts me in the Paco Rabanne era because my first 4 are 2474 :cool: :razz:
If your number was 24753061 or after then you are in the current series and have to put up with a shit rifle :roll:
