These quotations are just for fun, originally from Field & Stream Magazine, which has some creative writers. The odds are the second quotation might earn one or two “Oh, yeah!” feelings. Please enjoy.
“Advanced Beginner with Oak Leaf Cluster for Persistence in the Face of Overwhelming Lack of Skill.” - Bill Heavey (non-expert ‘everyman’ columnist)
“I took up engraving / stone setting / CAD/CAM / [insert your favorite] very late in life as a way to spend large amounts of money and aggravate myself in new ways.” - David E. Petzal (changed from ‘fly fishing’).
WikiPedia:
“The bronze oak leaf cluster represents one additional award, while the silver oak leaf cluster is worn in lieu of five bronze oak leaf clusters.”
I claim a silver oak leaf cluster for David Petzal’s quotation, with extra emphasis on the “aggravate myself in new ways”.
