>Yes, acronyms are fun! We joke about them very often. The “funniest” acronyms I have used come from the military. There are expressions used by the military that are contradictions such as “Military Intelligence”, or MI. Now I am not making fun of the military – I just happen to have my own thoughts on the subject due to first hand knowledge and expreience. Perhaps that is in part why I did not reenlist.
Here, we have a joke (in Spanish) that states that the unit for intelligence is "tar". One "tar" represents a relatively large amount of intelligence - for smaller amounts, you should use deci-tar, centi-tar, or, for even smaller amounts...

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
