That moment lasted about 30 seconds.

Yes, but what a very pleasant 30 seconds, no?

The only real one is in the middle.  The rest are dummies along for the ride.


Oh, no.  No no no no no!!!  I thought that kind of act couldn't get any creepier, but to do it with clowns!  Holy crap!  I'm going to have nightmares now.  I know it.

Because the Coast Guard wanted real men?  :-)

BTW , What is this Sanity of which you speak of? I'm afraid I lost mine the minute I volunteered to jump out of helicopters attached to a 120 feet of rope.

Nah, I'm too short for the Coast Guard.  You know how it goes, they only want guys over 6' so if the ship sinks they can all walk to shore.

My house burned down with me in it when I was 12.  So I join the one service that's all geeked out about everyone knowing how to (and actually doing it) fighting fires?  Yes, I've been in several--GD shipyard workers.

Hey, I used to be on ships DESIGNED to sink.  No rope.  No life vests.  No scuba tank.  No shit.

Wanna talk man stories?  You find out real fast who the real men are when you're going through 800 feet with a 20-degree down angle, can't reverse, and the Chief of the Watch can't get the trim pump started.  Pucker Factor 10,000.

No, pucker factor is losing an engine in a CH-46D with a full internal load of tools and pax (passengers)and making an emergency water landing or coming in for a carrier landing in a COD, praying the pilot doesn't miss the wire.

Yeah, that's true, because if an airedale shit himself dry, you could bury him in a matchbox.

Why does that description remind me of this?

"What's the matter Commander? You don't like flying, huh? Aw, this is nothing! You should've been with us five, six months ago! Whoa! You talk about puke! We ran into a hailstorm over the Sea of Japan. Everybody's retching their guts out! The pilot shot his lunch all over the windshield, and I barfed on the radio! Shorted it out completely! And it wasn't that lightweight stuff either, it was that chunky industrial weight puke!  Hey, you want a bite?"

Ya know the worst thing about a healthcare job?  There are NO automatic days off.  If Christmas is a day I'm normally scheduled to work, I have to take a vacation day to be gone...so I was at work today. 

Other than that, there were bright spots.  The stockmarket went up!!  Also, one of our democrats came in my office and started some stuff...and my boss wasn't there to shove him out and tell me to shut-up.   I had fun.   :-) :-) :-)
