He celebrated his promotion to Captain, at the time, by renting the appropriate costume. He was quoted as saying (something like) he always knew that he was destined to attain the rank of Captain. Right. I once heard someone on television claim that his name was St. Peter. Harmless enough, except that he was a guard at an Air Force base, and had occasion to answer the phone with "Main gate, St. Peter speaking." Suitable reactions are left as an exercise for the reader.
