Good things About Elk County

[lola330]

@ flo:  and this is a good thing about Elk Co. because...........?  Oh yes. It's because people like me are very sorry that someone stole your plywood.  If I had seen someone taking your plywood I would have told you and the police.  If someone in my house brought your plywood home, I would  have sent them right back to your house to return it, confess, and apologize.  That's why this is a good thing about Elk County.

Jarhead is lucky that he can't fit in any of the old dug wells around here. Even if he had a skinny body he wouldn't fit because if his big head. 40 years ago he was a Marine so he thinks he can sit around and bark out orders to me.

Tell me where you live (boy, that sounds scary) and I'll bring you two new sheets of plywood.

Now you know why I insist my garage stay locked.  Elk County is a good place to live.  Unfortunately, there are some undesirables that also think that way.  It isn't just my Sedgwick County paranoia.

Well Tubby,if that aint calling the kettle black and what do you mean saying that"he was a Marine' ?? In case you aint heard---ONCE A MARINE--ALWAYS A MARINE !! Just because you Flyboys didn't have any catchy slogans like that don't mean you can trash talk me.Tell me one more time Flyboy---what kind of pilot were you ?
One last thing---and I aint trying to cause friction, but Larry told me that if R.A.M.B.O. ever came face to face with Shep, your Sentry dog---------------------let's just say, ol Shep's throat would have been ripped out !!!!

Shep could handle 3 rambo's at once without breaking a sweat.  Once a Marine always a Marine, pffft! Why didn't you stay in for  20 years 10 days and 8 hours like I did? I wasn't a pilot, I told pilots where to go. And Larry, you quit causing trouble. Don't be telling Tarbaby any made up stories.

Do all you folks see what I have to put up with?

What made up stories? 

My momma told me to always speak the truth because you can remember the truth.  You can't always remember a lie or who you told it to. 

And, as far as Shep is concerned, he has nothing to worry about.  R.A.M.B.O. is a card carrying peacenik and has no violent tendencies except when he or I are threatened.  He does not engage in any kind of fighting especially after he has had his nails done, well, except for that stupid neighbor's cat (Which is still MIA).

And, Sarge, you told pilots where to go?  Did any of them tell you where to go?

They tried to Larry, but I would just say "Roger, acknowledge cancellation of IFR at xxxx zulu."  They would then become very  friendly, quite jocular as a matter of fact.

When I went in, I was given the opportunity to go to flight school and learn how to fly helos, change my service from two years to three years and become a warrant officer.  Back in those early days of 'Nam, everyone knew the lifespan of a WO flying a chopper was about 30 seconds so I declined.  Funny now, because out here we have so many news and police choppers flying around and I look at them and think "gee, I should have become on of those guys."
