Here's a story about verbal egg....
I spent a four-year enlistment in the Air Force
stationed at Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio, home of an
organization formerly known as the Foreign Technology
Division, a group tasked with analyzing foreign
intelligence. I heard a story about a young officer
who was briefing a general and his staff about a new
version of a Soviet MiG fighter, a briefing that
included several classified photos of the airplane.
At the end of the briefing, the general asked the
young man about the function of a small bulge on the
underside of the fighter's nose cone. The sharp
officer replied, "That's the BFOM pod, general." (This
being the military, he pronounced it bee' fom.) The
general replied astutely, "Oh, I see."
After the general left the briefing room, one of the
officer's colleagues asked him what a BFOM pod really
is. The officer replied, "Beats the F*** Outta Me."
