[Ed. Note: Duffel Blog has gathered some of the military-themed "missed connections" from Craigslist.com and other sources.]

You: A Talib in brown tribal garb, and what I took to be your teenage daughter. You were beating her with a rock, no doubt for having her period, or some other, equally heinous, crime.

Me: A Marine in a ghillie suit, with an M40A2 and a bad case of dehydration. It's the only time I've missed.

You: A Bangkok prostitute of indeterminate sex, with boobs like peaches and a face like a very naughty angel in that bar down by the pier, where that ship captain got busted.
