"Say Hello to my Little Friend"? Military Folks, Please Explain this To Me
A sign like this in a Cafeteria? For what purpose exactly?




U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman Michael Gehrz of St. Paul, Minnesota, eats lunch at the cafeteria at a U.S. Marine base in Qaim, 320 kilometers (200 miles) west of Baghdad, Iraq, Saturday, June 18, 2005. In its second day, Operation Spear killed some 50 insurgents so far during battles in nearby Karabilah. (AP Photo/Jacob Silberberg)

2. That's not even a good reference
You need a photo of Pacino with a face full of coke and a machine gun.

3. Because his "other little friend" isn't worth displaying.
There's another poster that has a gun pointed at you, but the caption reads, "Forget the Dog. Beware of Owner." I've always liked that one :7

6. Well, you got me
as to a point. The gun isn't a military gun and it isn't the gun from the movie. Maybe someone finnaly has a friend and the want to brag about it.
