Knew a good dood in high school, Richard, one badarse mofo, always started fights, never lost one.
He went into The Marines, Recon, was top of class, leaders called him ROCK,,, he was impressed with his nickname.
On grad day his folks were at Camp Lejeune, he introduced them to his Sargeant after the ceremony, and Richard thanked his Sergeant for always calling him by his nickname.
Then, the Sergeant asked Richard what he thought his nickname meant, he replied strong, stable, formidable, always someone for the unit to count on.
The Sergeant replied, "No, dumb as a ROCK'.
Lost track of Richard, I am pretty sure he did his 20.
