Really gave my son (Major, Army Reserves) a "start" when I walked up to him, unnoticed, at a restaurant lounge and standing slightly behind him, whispered in my sexiest voice, "Hi, Soldier, buy a Lady a drink?"
He bought me the drink AND paid my dinner check, too! So it apears it will work.
Anyone done any "research" on this concerning those serving in any other nation's Armed Forces?
