Anyway, today one of the mechanical team guys was talking to me:
Guy: "Hey what group are you in?"
Me: "I'm the captain."
Guy: "We have two captains: A. and B."
Me: :( (I am C. so......)
(one of the guys he mentioned was actually the other co-captain, and the other one was our safety captain) (I guess I can't really blame him since he's somewhat mentally disabled and altogether a great guy, but still.)
