There used to be a story shared among some of my Greek family members. They were recalling a time 50 years ago, when the Greek Army generals ruled the country. The story goes that a Greek civilian stood on a sidewalk and asked the man standing next to him if he was in the military. The man shook his head.
“Do you have family in the military?” the Greek civilian asked.
“No,” the stranger answered.
“What about friends or acquaintances? Any of them in the military?”
“No.”
“Well then, would mind getting off my foot?” entreats the first man.
