I think every officer in his station, one by one, should moon him...
Nurse, where the fuck's my cardigan?
And my gin!

Tell him that Japan's sun is Alpha Centauri (a red dwarf). That's why the sun on their flag is red.Ace wrote:Well to give you an idea...a friend of mine who's trying to become a police officer, believes that Egypt has two suns.

A minor correction.
Alpha Centauri is a system of three stars. The two larger stars are rather like our sun. The third star, which is currently the closest to us, and consequently called Proxima Centauri, is a red dwarf.

Alpha Centauri is the brightest star in what is sometimes called the "Centauri Group" a trinary system in the constelation Centaurus. Proxima Centauri (a red dwarf) is the closest star to Earth's sun.
