    Has any body else noticed that

    in southern Germany and Austria and Swisserland,

    it's common for aspiring managers to have their initials emroidered on their shirts !

    Why ?

    Milan.

      A long tradition in that part of the world, ever since their grandfathers had the initials SS embroidered on their collars.

        Did you know that SS uniforms were designed and made by Hugo Boss?

                sorry RedAss that's a little bit of a generalisation

                    When I was there one guy had his tailor fly in from Thailand every few months to take his order for shirts, suites etc. One time he took his boss to meet his tailor, the boss ordered a shirt to see how it went. It came back with the wrong initial, "MaD".
