SUMMARY OF ALL EXPLANATIONS PROVIDED | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
4 +6 | [see my explanation] |
|
[see my explanation] Explanation: This is a rather tasteless play on words. Stripes are injuries, typically resulting from flogging, and they're also badges of rank in the armed forces and elsewhere. A captain has more stripes than a corporal, so it's a worse punishment. |
