| Immunes | At one time or total?  Because there is no way on earth I could tell you how many hours I've put into polishing things military and civilian related. Most recently I put oh... I dunno must have been 4.5 straight hours wait no, make that 6 if you count stripping 'em first, into my new low-quarters, but that was several months ago... now they only need the 10 min spit-shine!  |

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | as a punishment tour... I had to polish all of the dormitory door brass kick plates in my basic military training squadrons building at lackland..started on a saturday morning at 0800 hours and ended at 2200 hours that night...lets say 12 hours of non-stop brasso banging fun. (Lunch and Dinner were allowed...thank God) Of course...they had to have a T.I. watch me...so we were both punished...
