I'm proud to say I once threw a Monty Python reference into an official NATO communication. A message I saw from a few years prior mentioned a local named Pero (I forget the family name). Another, more recent, message referred to someone of the same name as having died. While it wasn't of earth-shaking importance, it would be useful for the records I was organizing to know if the two men were one and the same, because if so, there'd be no expectation of further references to the first. So I e-mailed the message source, asking the question ... and then in the same e-mail I restated my inquiry as, "Is this an ex-Pero?" Alas, I never saw any indication, for good or ill, that anyone recognized the joke.
