The popular practice of writing one's distinctions (no matter how minor) in initials after one's name recalls the following story:
An American tourist în Scot- land was about to sign the visi tors book when he noticed that all the guests' names were fol- lowed by letters indicative of their distinctions. The Ameri- can had no distinctions.
On being questioned about his deficiency by his fellow-guests, he replied:-"Oh, I'll make that all right.” And he added to the book after his name-B. B. B. B. B. B

"Oh, that's easy," he replied, that means "The Best Blinking Bugler in the Brooklyn Brass Band.'”
