It's the old guys like us who HAVE the stories....simply because we've
survived most of them :-))



Actaully, I could dine out for a week on the storis I had by the time I
was 22. I was a very poor listener.

Sometimes when I actually have the time to sit down and reflect on

some
of the absolutely wild crap I've gotten into and out of in my career

it
scares the hell out of me :-))


I figure it's mostly been a dream.

Take my "famous"... (with the family at least) story about the day I
took the horns off a cow with a P51. Now THERE'S a story!!

This story is so good that every year at Thanksgiving when I forget
everybody in the house has heard it a thousand times and trot it out

for
the whole table it's met with shouts of enthusiasm and excitement as
they anxiously await every word of it.
"Oh NO!! Not AGAIN!!!!"
"Jeeze,,Holy Cow Hon....not the damn COW story again!!"

Yup!!!....they can't WAIT to hear the cow story!



I have one with hornets...Since it ends up with me being stung and
covered in **** everone enjoys it.
