A Retired American Major...

...of Irish lineage was touring the Ancestral Isle and became pathetically lost somewhat misoriented. Chancing upon a pub in the center of a small village, he stopped in and asked the landlord, "What's the fastest way to Dublin?"

"That depends," he replied. "Are you walking or driving?"

"I'm driving," answered the Major (Ret).

"Ahhhh, very good -- that's the fastest way."

Heh.

Got my orders -- I'll be spending the first week in February in Cricket Country (the Benning School for Boys, aka, the Columbus Stockade). Last time I was there was June of 2001, doing a trainup for wintertime in the Balkans -- which struck me as akin to conducting ASW training in Denver.

Remind me to pick up some decent desert boots while I'm there -- Clothing Sales at Dix only had chick sizes in stock...

*groan* Happy travels!
 
*groan* I keep telling you and *telling* you -- you can't match Maggie Cosmo for Cosmo and expect your brain to function in less than 48 hours...
 
Bill, are you getting properly paid for this?
 
Who needs Cosmos with jokes like that hanging around? :P
 
BWA-HA-HA-Ha-ha-h... hey! Waidaminnit!
 
Do you know the way to San Jose?
 
pls note for the record that it is John who assumes that it is HE who is the purported "lost Major", and not myself... (probably a valid assumption)
 
Dang it. I'd love to get down there, but I can't. DANG IT>>>>>>>>
 
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Why, yes. Yes I do. Where you startin' from? Pretty much no matter what you do you wind up using either I80 or I580 (though other freeways are involved). Why do you ask? (stares down at gaping hole in stomach where my innards used to be) Oh, okay. I will not snark Kat.
 
"Has anyone seen the Colonel?" Cheers
