Classic!
I know a guy like that
He is local
Was a P51 pilot in WW2 with 4 confirmed kills and a whole lot of trains, trucks, troops (Things that start with "T"
Although he is like 99 or something the guy is a fireball. Will come in a store and just take over.
Saw him in Autozone one day. He is waiting not so patiently for a girl to look up the correct battery for his crown vicky. He finally blurts out "Come on lady, I'm getting age spots waiting on you!"
I lost it, the whole place did. He didn't respond, george burns style.
She asks if he needs it installed.
He answers, "Hell, what's the matter with you? I'm almost a hundred, you think I can lift that thing?"
