Another random recollection.

How many people can honestly say that they've had a whole classroom full of soldiers, IN UNIFORM, pounding their desks and demanding to see his nipples? I might be the only one in the whole world who can make that claim.
See, I was attending PLDC way back in the Dark Ages of 2002. The instructor had stepped out for a few minutes, leaving us with the directive to discuss the subject of "professionalism" in his absence. Naturally, the conversation turned to body art. Understand, _I_ didn't bring this up; one of the other male students (all of whom had seen my tattoos in the showers) told one of the females that she should ask to see my nipple tats. I demurred, not out of modesty, but because the teacher could have come back at any moment. However, my fellow students would not be deterred. A few of them started pounding their desks and chanting "Show us your tits!" and soon everyone else joined in. I had no choice but to give in to peer pressure, but at least I was rewarded with applause and wolf-whistles.
