At random: The USS NAUTILUS SSN 571 steamed 60,000 miles on a lump of Uranium the size of a golf ball. A diesel powered submarine would have required 3,000,000 gallons or 300 railway tank cars of oil.

Actually that was a "fake leopard"; I didn't see any Tigers over there but I did see the "elephant"

Nah; it's just an expression that refers to "seeing the war; up close and personal"
According to one source it was used by enlisted soldiers in the Civil War.
"I've seen the elephant," or, "I'm off to see the elephant." Used to describe the experiences of war and soldiering, the term has many possible origins.

You mean I don't look like this anymore? Where's my glasses so I can check it out.

Yeah you do, I've seen you after this picture was taken and the only thing that changed is your taste in clothes...I'm sure the wife is lovelier than ever, unless your life style has tarnished her...
