When I was young(er), some girl asked me a photo of myself while we were talking on messenger (early days ... ah, the memories).
I sent her a portrait photo of a Waffen SS soldier.
She replied: "Are you in the Army?".
After I answered "Yeah, back in 1944!", her Euro (then Belgian Franc) still hadn't fallen. 
Didn't bother anymore with her after that.
And when I was at university, some young lady asked if I had served in the Gulf (First Gulf War was still raging at that time).
I shook my head and mumbled "Yup, I even got promoted to Captain." ... 
Still makes nice conversation topics though and my Fiancée had a good laugh with it when I told her these stories (For the record ... she's FAR smarter then those ladies!).
