Celanba Mar 05, 2006	Good, but this should be in the situation category, not trick.
mitzimesser Mar 05, 2006	o....k....
paul726 Mar 05, 2006	Nah, this works in the 'trick' catagory. But we did call trucks trucks on the bases I've been on.
triskit Mar 08, 2006	ummmmmmm. That was a teaser?
Methlos Mar 12, 2006	i don't get it
zonasurance Mar 16, 2006	Per my expierience Cars/Trucks/Jeeps are all called vehicles when speaking in "Military" language.
king_leonard Mar 17, 2006	sorry didnt really get it. sorta seemd more like ageneral knowledge sorta thing
OldChinaHand Mar 17, 2006	I guess in the Arny one has to 'keep on vehicling'.
faithie377 Mar 19, 2006	i did not get it i dont think it was a teaser i think it was.......
achnid Mar 26, 2006	there's no proper answer there only the question of if you have the knowledge of what a truck is. ther can be a whole lot of flags on a large oversees post or very few on a small US post. This teaser has no answer and I don't see how it made it past the checkers.
Fluttersby Mar 29, 2006	The tops of flags are not called Trucks just to mention one thing wrong with this riddle. But, keep on trucken LOL
warmonkey318 Mar 29, 2006	You made my brain go "poof"!! long story, dont ask.. (means i dont get it)
Mellew Mar 30, 2006	that was nearly dumb-if it was in trivia it would have made more sense b/c u have 2 no about the military
TEASEME315 Mar 31, 2006	I LEARNED SOMETHING I NEVER KNEW... BUT I DIDN'T CARE FOR IT MUCH AS A TEASER.

GebbieRose May 28, 2006	this sounds like trivia to me, too.
dolphingurl12 Jun 18, 2006	I lived on a military base, and we called trucks trucks, not vehicles, so not always. Good teaser, though.
Hrsemn4 Jun 11, 2007	I've always thought this was a lame teaser, I'm sure EVERYONE on a military base ALWAYS refers to them as vehicles. There's probably some guy who whacks you with a ruler if you call it a truck. Sorry, good information, a nice twist, but a lame old teaser.
mosca Aug 27, 2007	I work on a military base, and they usually call trucks (that belong to the military) a GOV, meaning Government Owned Vehicle. I drive a POV, meaning Privately Owned Vehicle.
sashomarine Jan 16, 2010	That wasn't much of a trick you know...
