auxilary Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 i leave the supermarket, and I'm loading groceries into the trunk of my car. This guy comes up to me with a walker... "hey man... i'm really sorry to bother you like this, you see, my wife and my kid, we're out on the street... and man, i got nothing.... I just got back from being in the Marines..." Now, he has a walker cane in his left hand, and he's limping on his left leg. WRONG LEG. He is also wearing new baggy jeans. me: Marines? Semper Fi, soldier! I was decommissioned 2 months ago! him: *confused look* Uh... Semmer Ti... me: what division were you in? him: 331st me: no kidding? my brother is in 331! You know Colonel Wzierbowski? Lt. Commander Vasquez? Commander Apone? him: oh yeah, I think I've ran into those guys before, Vasquez was a cool guy me: Hey man [as I'm digging around for spare change in the ashtray], you ever seen the movie Aliens? him: yeah, long time ago. me: Then you would know that I just gave you the names of Colonial Space Marines from the movie, right? And Vasquez was a chick. him: ............. Then I hand him a couple of quarters, and say "Valiant attempt, but you should try a different approach - decommissioned soldiers don't get kicked out on the street, especially if you're trying to pull off a war injury" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxilary Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 think of it as tipping a waiter. If you don't leave a tip, they think you forgot. If you leave a small tip on purpose, they know you wanted to send a message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxilary Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 I just have a lot of "luck" with that specific FoodMaxx, I guess. That, and I'm a magnet for stupidity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
