Thelma put her money in a high risk, aggressive investment even though she knew that 85 year old Haitians in this country illegally usually won the lotto, she didn't know of any other fiduciary instrument that paid such a high rate of return.

Gurl

A Naval officer with the 1100 code in the General UnRestricted Line (GURL), doesn't have a warfare specialty, doesn't serve at sea and consequently attracts personnel who would otherwise have made a career in the postal service.

My JAG lawyer thought it was important to get a GURL on the courts-martial board so that I could get acquitted.
