4mastacker, I have no idea what that badge is - but why is that rather camp unicorn wearing lipstick and staring up a pussycat's bum whilst piddling on the floor?

The original version of 'rank':

Air Marshal
Can leap tall buildings with a single bound
More powerful than a steam train
Faster than a speeding bullet
Walks on water and
Gives policy to God

Air Commodore
Can leap tall buildings with a running start
More powerful than a diesel engine
Just as fast as a speeding bullet
Walks on water if sea is calm
Discusses policy with God

Group Captain
Leaps short buildings with a single bound
More powerful than tank engines
Can occasionally keep up with a speeding bullet
Walks on water in small lakes
Talks with God

Wing Commander
Leaps short buildings with a running start
Is almost as powerful as a tank engine
Is able to avoid a speeding bullet
Walks on water in indoor swimming pools
Talks to God if special request is granted

Squadron Leader
Can just clear a small hut
Loses tug of war with tank engine
Can fire a speeding bullet
Swims well
Is occasionally addressed by God

Flight Lieutenant
Demolishes chimney when leaping small huts
Is run over by steam trains
Can handle a gun
Dog paddles adequately
Talks to animals

Flying Officer
Runs into buildings
Recognises steam trains two times out of three
Is not issued with guns
Can stay afloat with Mae West
Talks to walls

Pilot Officer
Falls over doorsteps
Says I see no trains
Wets himself with water pistol
Stays on dry land
Mumbles to himself


Warrant Officer
Lifts tall buildings and walks under them
Kicks steam trains off the tracks
Catches bullets in his teeth
Freezes water with a single glance
Because He is God!
