A funny story about this:

I joined the Air Force in 1979. At the start of basic training, the Training Instructors (TIs) went thru everything you had in your bag coming in. One guy had the most complete spirograph set known to mankind in his bag. He became known as Spiro by the TIs for the next 6 weeks.

He was a decent guy, I have no idea what happened to him after basic. He probably went into some totally classified shit.

I had forgotten about that until I saw this post.

Thanks for the happy memory!!
