Exactly.

And he calls other people losers just to make himself feel better.

Of course, when he opens his eyes and looks around at the tobacco stained
walls of his dingy section 8 apartment, reality comes crashing back in on
him.

 TR> Were you in the military service? Otto worked on Warthogs!

He also laughed at crashing F15s.

 TR> Did you have a decent relationship with an officer in one of your units?
 TR> Otto played cribbage with a general!

I'm in awe.

 TR> Did you operate combat equipment in combat? Otto `worked on the (then new)
 TR> Sidewinder missile!

That would explain how the early version sometime misfired.

 TR> Did you know that there were sand dunes in Afghanistan? Otto contacted a

They are good friends.

 TR> Did you vote for GW Bush the first time? Otto rode up to GHW Bush's
limo (that
 TR> just happened to be driving through Sheboygan at the time!), and engaged GHW
 TR> Bush in a heated conversation....in the middle of an intersection....in the

Otto also slapped his pastor in front of the entire congregation.

 TR> Did you see a meteor streak across the sky during meteor-shower season?
 TR> Otto saw one, followed it to where it came down, and picked it out of Lake
 TR> Michigan, while it was still glowing hot!

He's tough like that.
