Life's Lessons
Some random stuff I've learned the hard way while in the Air Force.
1. If youre having a drink in a foreign country and youre not sure whats in your drink, put it down.
2. Same as 1, but with food.
3. A wheelchair, a friend acting retarded, and a large crowd might seem like a good idea, but I was informed that it's not.
4. If youre unsure of who's on the other end of the phone line at work, don't answer by saying, "Jasons donkey farm, we haul ***."
5. Do not put any scene from Goodfellas on any answering machine your boss (who is extremely religious) might call.
6. Do not mix police tape, ketchup, chalk, and a busy intersection.
7. Do not deploy road guards for your car. (road guards go out in front of a marching formation to stop traffic when the formation passes through an intersection)
8. Singing along to the Little Mermaid theme song as you enter the base gate will get you unwanted attention.
9. While deployed to the desert, there's no end to the free stuff you can get. (Like an entire 108" X 88" pallet of coffee stacked 5 feet tall from starbucks. We had enough for everyone on base to get 2 bags of coffee)
10. 2nd Lts dont like being called butter bars.
11. 2nd Lts will rat you out to the commander for calling them butter bars.
12. The ocean might seem too small for a jet ski but the lap pool at the hotel is definitely too small.
13. A true friend will search for you when you've been missing from the party for an hour. Then help you out of the bushes you were trying to swim in.
14. If you're going to tackle a tiki torch, don't forget about the tree behind it.
15. Don't wear full nuclear/biological/chemical gear while carrying a fake gun. No one else will think it's funny.

I got mugged in Holland I was drunk but it was Turks that mugged me (I was that drunk) but I have eyes in the back of my head and my sixth sense has clicked in, I haven't been in a pub for 25 years because of it so I took up self defence but at my age whats the point just buy a gun
