Chuck Testa in 2026. Who’d’ve thought…

Looks like the joke flew over your head…

But to indulge your more serious angle, yeah, it’s well thought through. And if your source is the one I think it is, that one also packages in that “NATO Phonetic Alphabet” is a bit of a misnomer.

He told a lie and hurt us!

He let us down.

You can’t troll me, YouTube won’t autoplay on my machine!
