Tell them you want a retirement parade. With all the military budget cuts, it'll probably be another 10 years before they can afford to give you one and they'll have to keep you on till then.

Snort.

Then again, even with all the budget cuts we still managed to give Thatcher a £3.5 million funeral. I'm not one to denigrate spectacle for the sake of it; we do it well. But IMHO it should have been funded by private donors. Those who earned millions when she was in power. Get a hundred of them - just a hundred even! - and it wouldn't cost them more than their spit.
