Ha ha… that reminds me of an anecdote from WWII…my dad was chatting with an American he had met a few times… now they were both ashore in the Med somewhere… and he realized his pal could not get a drink because the American fleet was “dry” … so he lent him his cap (with all its gold bits)and gained a friend for life (literally).
