some people get a rise about flag waving. ---

Dare I ask what he used for a flagpole? šŸ˜ƒšŸ˜ƒ Quite a story. I expected to see charges for intoxication. I guess this guy doesnā€™t need booze to shed his clothes. ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > Dare I ask what he used for a flagpole? šŸ˜ƒšŸ˜ƒ I quote: Police asked Burks where the flags and the flag pole came from and he said, ā€œA house down the street.ā€ So it seems he stole the flags and poles from a Marine no longer on active duty. He better hope for a long sentence otherwise that jarhead may wring his scrawny bearded neck! If you are going to steal flags, pick some Air Force dude - not one of the few and the proud. :smack: ---

I love the phrase ā€œbutt-naked.ā€ Itā€™s funnier than ā€œbuck-naked.ā€ Are the hyphens necessary? ---

If you are going to steal flags, pick some Air Force dude - not one of the few and the proud. :smack: But itā€™s very hard to steal a USMC flag from a USAF retiree. The story wouldnā€™t make nearly as much sense if the guy was waving a USAF flag. ---
