Hero's speak...often bluntly
« on: September 08, 2017, 06:22:41 PM »
Saw this and had to pass it on.....

September 5th marked the 35th anniversary of the death of Sir Douglas Bader and I couldn’t let it pass without this story about the RAF hero. He was giving a talk to an upmarket girl’s school about his time as a pilot in the Second World War. “So there were two of the f***ers behind me, three f***ers to my right, another f***er on the left,” he told the audience. The headmistress went pale and interjected: “Ladies the Fokker was a German aircraft.” Sir Douglas replied: “That may be, madam, but these f***ers were in Messerschmitts.”

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?"

Love that Don. I'd say he's earned that right.
