At random: "I saw the submariners, the way they stood aloof and silent, watching their pigboat with loving eyes. They are alone in the Navy. I admired the PT boys. And I often wondered how the aviators had the courage to go out day after day and I forgave their boasting. But the submariners! In the entire fleet they stand apart!” -- James Michener

Most of those words, I don't know but the first two probably come from people who can't spell entrepreneur and employer.

I can certainly recall "you buy me green drink" from Olongapo. In Hong Kong, the drinks were requested as 'normal' drinks that each of us would order.
