Aw go easy on him, he's just in his "grasp at any straw mode" again
Steve. He was a USAF shipping/receiveing clerk for cripes sake.

Yeh, go easy on me. I've got more military experience in my little
finger than Kelly's ever going to have. And we probably would have
had far fewer missing pallets if I had been a box kicker.

But what did you learn from your service, Brain?

Obviously honesty and honor were not among them.

How far down the "service" chain is THAT?!

Everyone played their role except you. Even the box kickers outranked
you. Best you can do is sing "Rubber Band Man" and "In The Navy" on
Karoake Night.

Hoot, whine on, keep reaching for that last straw, you just ain't
making it yet Putzlet. At all.

Of course I didn't outrank anybody. I just told the Chief what I
needed and poof, job done without me having to deal with your types.

Who says being in the Armed Forces is the ONLY way to have "played thier
role", Brain? Every war this nation has won was due to service and sacrifices
made at home, too.

The son of a next-door neighbor, an only child who flunked the draft
physical in 1942 signed aboard the Merchant Marine. During a convoy
run to Murmansk in a ship loaded with steel rails a Nazi torpedo found
it's mark and the ship went under in a half minute with all hands, all
of 'em civilians.

My father was 'way too old for WW2 service but he worked 12-14 hour
days six-seven days a week building tanks at the Baldwin Locomotive
Works thru VJ day.

The Putzlet woulda folded if he ever had to work that hard that long.
'Course he wouldn't have to worry about it because he couldn't build a
tank if his life depended on it. Hell, he still can't even figger out
how to string a simple wire antenna up in his own back yard and tune
it.

Like the time you tried to get me to put up an antenna at your house?
Or are you so senile that you thought I lived there?

Yer fulla **** as usual, show me the post.

I am sure we can look under any mossy rock and find you or some of your
kin close by...

Boink.

Steve, K4YZ
