You know when you put it in that context, I also notice that there are a number of police officers/ firefighters officiating here as well (yea School teachers too)
So to answer do I think that my ability to think on the fly and make decisions without panic, to extinguish conflict and keep control over situations is because of my background? Well I think it helps. I believe that these qualities had to be there in order to become a firefighter/police officer (either that or we are just crazy). Finally, have you ever seen an off duty cop or fire monkey not want to be in control of anything? We are Control freaks, when we are in control we are happy other wise we just have ants in our pants to get the control.

Yup, we are thinking along the same lines.

So is the ring through my nose as well as the chain that my wife uses to lead me around.

I wouldn't mind wearing this at the table.

We all had to wear those when I worked the Steve Martin classic. Steve entertained at halftime.

Good points, I've felt the same about a few guys in my area.
