    It's the Military Order of William, the oldest and highest honor of the Kingdom of The Netherlands— or, in this case, a replica evidently made for the collecting or novelty market.

    LOL!

    Yeah... but I just can't stand the taste of decaf.

    Besides, it's harder for a sniper to hit a moving target.

    Right back atcha, Chagy!
