Reminds me of Major Major Major Major  the guy from Catch 22 - who
gets promoted to Major upon joining the army, but can never get
promoted thereafter because he is the world's only Major Major.....

Which in turn reminds me of the two brothers from one of PG
Wodehouse's books, with the surname Major... the elder (the character
in the story) was a South African gold prospector and the younger
(mentioned in passing) was in the Army. So the story had the Miner
Major, while the Minor Major was a Major in the army (or some such).
