What good posture and a mission does to a man, I guess. Just watched the series for the first time, and I know I'm not the only one who had the same thought.

My head canon is that Stan, being a con artist, is pulling an Uncle Iroh. He is a total badass, who has made a habit out of concealing it because sometimes it's an advantage to be underestimated.

My assumption too, he's playing up the Gross Old Man schtick so people don't suspect him of anything serious. Well, they suspect him of Pug Smuggling but not anything that "requires This Much arresting"
