What are some funny cations for this picture?

"General, you can have the fruit cake, but I am keeping the SX-28."

[W7TFO]

Fine, you schweinhund, but I'm keeping der T-17!

I may be nutty as a fruitcake, but at least I know better than to plug a microphone into a receiver!

[Steve - K4HX]

That's the rare German SX-28 copy.

[W7NGA]

"You traded the BC-610 for this?"

[VE3AJM]

Is this the Gonkulator from Luftstalag 13?

That's just some of his private "stash" from the overrun American positions. 

What you can't see are the Esquire mags, cartons of Lucky Strikes, Glenn Miller V-Discs, a case or two of Jack, and some nylon stockings also stashed away.  And his motor pool guys are towing around a 1943 OD caddie staff car for him as well--probably with the word "EISENHOWER" stencilled on the bumper <hihi>.   

Because he's a "tread-head" <armor guy> he hasn't figured out that the mic doesn't go in headphone jack--but after he's gotten rid of the general, some poor radio op will come up and show him how to tune in "Der Bingle" and the Andrews Sisters on AFRN and he'll chill out.   

Outside in the snow, his poor guys are fighting over who gets the leftover K-Rats, hershey bars, and chewing gum.

The general's looking at him like "you want a field promotion and more petrol too?  Better get that damned cake out of my face and get me a drink!"

Picture is from the movie "The Battle of the Bulge" which has nothing to do with a
weight loss plan even though he's offering up that low cal cake to the portly officer.

I always got a big laugh when he is transmitting through the SX-28. They should have
consulted with a "Ham" when shooting those scenes.

"You're a ham, I'm a ham, let's not stand on ceremony. Between the cake in my hand and the tint in my hair, which makes me look more fat?"

[N5RLR]

"Zis ist our secrret vheapon.  Vhen eaten, it exshpands zix hundrredd perrzent in ze shtomach.  Vhe get ze Allies to eat zhis, und dey vhill be too heavy to fight evvektively.  Vhe vhill be unshtoppable! Der Fazherland vhill vhin de vhar in merre months!"

 

[characterization tongue-in-cheek, mind]

Steiner says "HI HI" when he laughs.

[KA0HCP]

"You've heard of door knob capacitors, General?  This is a Pie Pan capacitor. I'm going to blow out the low end audio.  You will be able to hear my skin pores exhaling!"
