At least as funny.

I'd hope that someone "qualified" (??) (USNA '78 ;-) to become a general
would have substituted "gigolo", which would work just fine, and be just as
amusing. Or, considering the interviewer's overly-aggressive personal-agenda
approach, maybe "rapist" or "pedophile", though those would have been less
funny.

This can't be serious; it's got to be a tongue-in-cheek continuation of the
"humor" theme. I don't see anything remotely "dirty" in the posting, again
indicating some type of over-the-top reaction intended to elicit humor
rather than credibility.

Or maybe it's just a troll....In which case I took the bait. <insert "coulda
had a V8" forehead slap>
