Sh!t on a Shingle. It's what every GI has for breakfast every morning.

"SOS on two."

Seriously, I thought it was just made up for the simplicity in Morse Code ...---...

Yeah, I can see how it could be, but wouldn't "SSS" or even just "SS" be even easier?

It was. The first time it was ever used was by the Titanic. It was ignored.

When we first got females in our unit do you know hard it was to learn how to say "creamed_chipped_beef_on_toast"?

That stuff is great. It's my favorite breakfast by far.

You know, I've never had it before, in all the stuff I've gone through. I guess we just miss out in my branch :(

IIRC Stoffers makes it. It's in the freezer section in a red box. Just boil the bag and put on toast. Sprinkle on salt and pepper and you're good to go.

Now I'm going to have to go buy some ;)

Hell, I don't know what kind of co-ed unit you're in, but our females would surely ask for some SOS in the chow hall line. We MPs are a different breed though anyway.
