I live nearish to a military base so a lot of local businesses have a military/veteran discount.

At the store I buy dog food at, the staff are so tired of asking about it that they have shortened “are you a member of the military?” to “any military?”

After I noticed it a few times that every single employee in the store shortened it that way, I started answering “there is one, but I’m not in it.”

Loooots of blank stares. I stopped since apparently nobody gets it or they don’t think it’s funny. I think it’s the former but idk 🤷
