#5 Maybe "nothing but rum, sodomy and the lash" *should* be their new recruiting slogan.

#6 The Royal Navy - this years sponsor of "The Village People" reunion tour

Reminds me of a story from my own USN active duty time in the 1970's. We were at quarters one morning, and we noticed some unusual activity on the forecastle of the USS Hepburn a couple of piers over (32nd Street, San Diego) - looked like guys in some sort of costume, with other guys wrangling lights and camera equipment. I noticed someone wearing an Indian feather headdress, and another guy in a construction worker's hard hat, and said to nobody in particular, "if I didn't know better, I'd swear that was the Village People on the Hepburn's forecastle!". We later heard that indeed they WERE the Village People, filming a USN recruiting commercial. Of course, the commercial never aired...apparently someone at CRUITCOM with some pop-culture savvy clued in the brass as to the VP's fan demographics.
