Do you know what I was in when I took this photo in 1968? Look closely.
A panzer tank

You were in a British invention. But we would never remind you that you owed us anything, and nor do you remember.

Sorry, but I was not in a British invention (a tank) when I took that photo. You're very knowledgeable and I'm surprised that you didn't figure it out. You have two more guesses left and then you're out, in accordance with American baseball rules. The correct answer is in plain sight in the photo. Look closer!

You were in Vietnam. The 1968 gave it away also the terrain in the photograph and the pit with the bamboo spikes

My question was not "where was I", it was "Do you know what was I in when I took that photo". Q&C thought i was in a tank, but he was wrong (although they had a reputation for being built like a tank - that's a big clue). Here's the photo again. See it?

Not a Jeep. The clue is at the bottom left of the photo. It's a little blurry, but it's a hood ornament you'll recognize.

From the hood ornament, a Mercedes of some sort.

I'm surprised that you are so insensitive on the day after Memorial Day and would post a photo of the worst mass murderer in history.

I get it, but it became a sick joke when you used him to compare our disagreements about motor oils to starting another World War.

I hope we're still friends, but I had to call you out on this.

Sarcastic humor is what separates humans from other species. But I see nothing funny with using the man guilty of crimes against humanity to make your point.

No need to , let's move on.
