Warm in winter

That's a new one on me!
Having been around working buckaroos, I think someone is pulling your leg

Now, what is this about the US Army? This ol' grunt wants to know

I think I got the cowboy info from a humour book by Patrick MacManus (apologies to his mom if the family name is misspelled). In the book, he's on a western hunting trip and sneaks around in panty hose, which he's wearing to avoid saddlesoreness, then at the end of the trip he finds out the outfitter and his crew as well as the Indian guide etc have all been wearing them. As I said, a humour book but it seemed to have a kernel of truthiness. However he may have been lying about the other guys.

My US army reference, if you were asking about that, was about an improper uniform situation, plus a joke reference to 'don't ask, don't tell' but it seems that was repealed by Congress just yesterday, only hours after I made the joke?
