Dragon Laffs

Good Morning Campers,

Well, I’m back home.  It was a long week, even though I wasn’t gone a whole week, it seemed like it was much longer.  Hopefully it will be a bit slower week for me this week.  I’m actually starting this issue on Sunday, while watching the

 Great first half with the Colts ahead 10 to 7. 

Anyway, let’s get to some laughs, shall we?

This one is from Steve, but I agree with him 100%!!!!!!!

Although, truth in honesty, when I came home from Alpena yesterday, Izzy dragon had drug the Christmas tree down from the upstairs storage area, and set it up.  It’s a new tree for us, given to us by a relative because they wanted a smaller tree.  Izzy is always VERY excited about Christmas.  This tree is so damn big she couldn’t put some of the branches on the back side because they wouldn’t fit.  And unlike our old tree, it’s not “pre-lit”, which means it doesn’t already have lights on it.  So, right now, we have a bare green tree in our living room.  We don’t have lights because we haven’t needed lights.  The tree has always been her and Mrs. Dragon’s deal, so my only comment was, “Sure is a big son-of-a-bitch.”

I’m watching the game and they…the females of the house…are plotting the visit to the store and exactly what they are going to need to decorate that “big S.O.B.”  I love my life.

At school, Little Johnny’s classmate tells him that most adults are hiding at least one dark secret, so it’s very easy to blackmail them by saying, “I know the whole truth.” Little Johnny decides to go home and try it out.
Johnny’s mother greets him at home, and he tells her, “I know the whole truth.” His mother quickly hands him $20 and says, “Just don’t tell your father.” Quite pleased, the boy waits for his father to get home from work, and greets him with, “I know the whole truth.” The father promptly hands him $40 and says, “Please don’t say a word to your mother.”
Very pleased, the boy is on his way to school the next day when he sees the mailman at his front door. The boy greets him by saying, “I know the whole truth.” The mailman immediately drops the mail, opens his arms, and says, “Then come give your Daddy a great big hug!”

More importantly, that’s why we NEED alcohol.

Little Sally came home from school with a smile on her face, and told her mother, “Frankie Brown showed me his weenie today at the playground!” Before the mother could raise a concern, Sally went on to say, “It reminded me of a peanut.” Relaxing with a hidden smile, Sally’s mom asked, “Really small, was it?” Sally replied, “No, salty.” Mom fainted.

Just an update…6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.

There is an overweight guy who is watching TV. A commercial comes on for a guaranteed weight loss of 10 pounds in a week. So the guy, thinking what the hell, signs up for it. Next morning an incredibly beautiful woman is standing at his door in nothing but a pair of running shoes and a sign about her neck that reads, “If you can catch me, you can have me.” As soon as he sees her, she takes off running. He tries to catch her, but is unable. This continues for a week, at the end of which, the man has lost 10 pounds. After this he tries the next weight loss plan, 15 pounds in a week. The next morning an even more beautiful woman is standing at the door, in similar conditions. The same happens with her as the first woman, except he almost catches her. This continues for a week, at the end of which he, as suspected, weighs 15 pounds less. Excited about this success, he decides to do the master program. Before he signs up, he is required to sign a waiver and is warned about the intensity of this plan. Still he signs up. The next morning, waiting at the door, is a hulking 300 pound muscle man with nothing but a pair of running shoes, a raging erection, and a sign around his neck that says, “If I catch you, you’re mine!” The man was supposed to lose 25 pounds in the week; he lost 34.

And if Mrs. Dragon is on the jury, you’ll never be convicted.

A typical macho man married a typical good looking lady, and after the wedding, he laid down the following rules. “I’ll be home when I want, if I want, what time I want, and I don’t expect any hassle from you. I expect a great dinner to be on the table, unless I tell you that I won’t be home for dinner. I’ll go hunting, fishing, boozing, and card playing when I want with my old buddies, and don’t you give me a hard time about it. Those are my rules. Any comments?” His new bride said, “No, that’s fine with me. Just understand that there will be sex here at seven o’clock every night, whether you’re here or not.”

The bell rang for school to start and John walked in late. Mr. Clark asked, “John, why are you late?” He replied, “I was on Cherry Hill.” Then he sat down. Ten minutes later Nathan walked in late and Mr. Clark repeated, “Why are you late?” Nathan answered, “I was on top of Cherry Hill.” Five minutes later Kevin walked in late and Mr. Clark said to him, “Kevin, where have you been?” Kevin replied, “I was on Cherry Hill.” Ten minutes later a girl walked in the classroom and Mr. Clark asked, “Hi there, what’s your name?” The girl replied, “Cherry Hill.”

A trucker who has been out on the road for two months stops at a brothel outside Atlanta. He walks straight up to the Madam, drops down $500 and says, “I want your ugliest woman and a grilled cheese sandwich!” The Madam is astonished. “But sir, for that kind of money you could have one of my prettiest ladies and a three-course meal.” The trucker replies, “Listen darlin’, I’m not horny – I’m just homesick.”

I was sitting on my own in a restaurant, when I saw a beautiful woman at another table. I sent her a bottle of the most expensive wine on the menu. She sent me a note, “I will not touch a drop of this wine unless you can assure me that you have seven inches in your pocket.” I wrote back, “Give me the wine. As gorgeous as you are, I’m not cutting off three inches for anyone.”

Yeah, it’s all fun and games until it’s the woman who snores….

And if you don’t think that shit chaps this dragon’s ass…

Yup!  This one too!  Especially since I worked for this one and it’s MY FUCKING MONEY!!!!!

Okay, now I’m just pissed off.  I gotta find something to laugh about.

And at the end of the 3rd Quarter.

During a discussion at Sunday school, a nun asks the children what they think God takes you by when you die. A kid responds, “I think God takes you by your feet, because once I walked into my parents room and my mom’s feet were in the air and she was screaming, “Oh God, I’m coming!!!”

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I think the rule changes in the NFL this year are complete bullshit.  I haven’t seen any really bad calls in this game, but there were some missed interference calls, but man, last week, the bullshit calls about roughing the passer and crap, oh my gawd!  It’s like it’s a penalty if you give the quarterback a stern look!  I mean, come on!  This is a contact sport, after all. 

Anyway, 2 minutes left in the game, and Jacksonville is getting annihilated by my Colts.  Let’s do a couple more laughs, because we know that the last two minutes in a football game usually takes about 15 minutes.

Must be a Democratic dryer

Okay, I’ve never seen that before.  Jacksonville goes for the two-point conversion after the touchdown.  It’s a pass.  Colts intercept and run it all the way back the other way.  Colts don’t get a touchdown, they get the two points.  And then Jacksonville has to kick off to the Colts.  I guess it makes sense when you think about it, but I’ve just never seen it before.

Pretty cool really.

Well, now it’s Tuesday night and I’m supposed to be playing darts, my normal Tuesday night fare, but my team has a bye this week, so I get to continue working on the ezine.

I’m still needing submissions….I’ve been getting some from quite a few of you.  Thank you to all of you who have been contributing….I deeply appreciate it…..but don’t stop now.  LOL!

How to Win The War on Drugs

1. Legalize drugs

2. Require all drugs be purchased through Comcast customer service

And that, my dear campers, is that.

Until next week, have a wonderful week.

Love to you all.

Cheers!

Good Morning Campers,

Spent the week in Alpena, Michigan.  I know I sent you guys a couple of pictures from the trip up there, but then when I got up here, there was like no signal, so I will post this when I return.  I do have a little time at night to work on it, so hopefully it will end up being a fairly decent issue, so in that vein….

Let’s Laugh

Get your relatives speaking to one another again by sending a heartfelt Christmas card with a picture of your family with an extra child nobody knows.

When a male octopus finds a mate, he rips off his penis and throws it at the female so she can inseminate herself.  Then the male grows a new penis.  If that isn’t the most epic way to tell someone “Go Fuck Yourself” I don’t know what is.

A belly button is basically a scar from when you got into a knife fight with a guy in a mask after being evicted from your first place.

When a woman laughs during an argument, please know that the psycho part of her brain has just been activated.

Interviewer: So, tell me about yourself.

Me: I’d rather not…I kinda want this job.

Marriage is about understanding what irritates your spouse and using it strategically.

This one is from TJ:

I had just finished having lunch at a nice restaurant and noticed a long line of people waiting to be seated. I decided to have some fun. I picked up the plastic ketchup bottle and squeezed a thin line of ketchup across my neck and let it run a little to look like blood. Then I walked by the line of waiting customers who saw what looked like blood leaking from my throat. I looked at them and said; “DO NOT ORDER THE SWORDFISH!” 

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore.

When you swim in the creek and an eel bites your cheek, that’s a moray.

If a cow doesn’t produce any milk does that make it a milk, dud? or an udder failure?

I bet when Cheetahs race and one of them cheats, the other one goes, “Man, you’re such a Cheetah!” and they’d laugh and laugh and eat a zebra or something.

I told myself I should stop drinking…but I’m not about to listen to a drunk that talks to himself.

I ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon.  I’ll let you know.

A HORSE, a CHICKEN and a HARLEY

On the farm lived a chicken and a horse, both of whom loved to play together.
  One day the two were playing, when the horse fell into a bog and
began to sink.
  Scared for his life, the horse whinnied for the chicken to go get
the farmer for help!
  Off the chicken ran, back to the farm. Arriving at the farm, he
searched and searched for the farmer, but to no avail, for he had gone
to town with the only tractor.
  Running around, the chicken spied the farmer’s new Harley.
  Finding the keys in the ignition, the chicken sped off with
  a length of rope hoping he still had time to save his friend’s life.
  Back at the bog, the horse was surprised, but happy, to see the
chicken arrive on the shiny Harley, and he managed to get a hold of
the loop of rope the chicken tossed to him.
  After tying the other end to the rear bumper of the farmer’s bike,
the chicken then drove slowly forward and, with the aid of the
powerful bike,  rescued the horse!
  Happy and proud, the chicken rode the Harley back to the
  farmhouse, and the farmer was none the wiser when he returned.
  The friendship between the two animals was cemented: Best Buddies, Best Pals.
  A few weeks later, the chicken fell into a mud pit, and
  soon, he too, began to sink and cried out to the horse to save his life!
  The horse thought a moment, walked over, and straddled the  large puddle.
  Looking underneath, he told the chicken to grab his hangy-down thing
and he would then lift him out of the pit.
  The chicken got a good grip, and the horse pulled him up and out,
saving his life.
  The moral of the story, (yep, you betcha, there IS a moral!)?

“When You’re Hung Like A Horse, You Don’t Need A Harley To Pick Up Chicks”

I have a CONDITION that prevents me from dieting.  It’s called “BEING FREAKIN’ HUNGRY!”

Condoms d0n’t guarantee safe sex anymore… a friend of mine was wearing one when he was shot by the woman’s husband.
Be careful.

A bather whose clothing was strewed
By winds that left her quite nude.
Saw a man come along
And, unless I am wrong,
You expected this line to be lewd! 

Mary had a little sheep,
And with this sheep, Se went to sleep.
The sheep turned out
To be a ram,
And Mary had a little lamb!

A sexy young maiden named Jill
Tried a dynamite stick for a thrill
They found her vagina
In North Carolina
And bits of her tits in Brazil.

A major electronics company, Siemens, is introducing a tiny necklace cell phone for women. Have you seen this thing? It’s on a chain — you wear it around your neck — it hangs down right here to a woman’s cleavage. The only problem women have with it; when it rings, every guy in the room yells, ‘I’ll get it.’

Have you seen a recent commercial for Viagra? The guy comes home, he’s rushing around, he’s cleaning the house, he’s cooking dinner, he’s setting the table, he’s putting flowers and candles out before his wife gets home. Don’t you think that most women watching that commercial say, “The hell with the sex. Where can I get a pill to make my husband to do all of that?”

An elderly couple are sitting around one evening and the man says to his wife, “Marsha, we are about to celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary. We’ve had a wonderful life together, full of contentment and blessings. But there’s something I’ve always wondered about. Tell me the truth. Have you ever been unfaithful to me?”
She hesitates a moment, then says, “Yes, three times, Sidney.”
“Three times? How could that happen?” Sidney asks.
The wife begins recalling slowly, “Well, do you remember right after we were married and we were so broke, and the bank was going to foreclose on our little house?”
“Yes, dear, that was really a terrible time” replies the man.
Marsha continued, “And remember when I went to see the banker one night and the next day the bank extended our loan?”
“That’s hard to take” the man says, “but I guess it really was for us, so I can forgive you. What was the second time?”
“Well,” she continued, “do you remember years later when you almost died from the heart problem because we couldn’t afford the operation?”
“Yes, of course” the man replies.
“Then you will remember that right after I went to see the doctor, he did your operation at no cost?” she explained.
“That’s true” Sidney nodded. “That shocks me, Marsha, but I do understand that you did it out of love for me, and I forgive you. So, what was the third time?”
Marsha lowers her head and says, “Sidney, do you remember when you ran for Country Club President and you needed 62 more votes…?” 

Five Ways To Avoid Shark Attacks

1.  Don’t swim in the ocean.  Ninety-nine percent of all shark attacks take place in exceptionally large bodies of water, also known as oceans.  The way to determine if you are currently in an ocean is to taste the water, which should be salty.  If it is salty, you’re in an ocean.
2.  Listen for the music.  In the event that you are foolish enough to swim in an ocean, listen carefully for the music, as demonstrated in the marvelous documentary film, Jaws.  All shark attacks are preceded by the ‘daah-da, daah-da’ sinister melody, which will gradually become more rapid as the shark gets closer. 
3.  Swim with fat people.  Try to surround yourself with more appetizing companions.  If you know them well, you might even try to switch the suntan lotion with A-1 Steak Sauce.  This will definitely improve your odds.
4.  Don’t go into the water without a knife.  This is not to defend yourself, but to stab the person (aka ‘the decoy’) closest to you — in case of a shark attack.  Once you are sure the ‘decoy’ is bleeding profusely, swim for your life.
And finally…
5.  Don’t panic.
In the event that a shark actually bites you, try to remain calm.  This really wont help you survive, but everyone else on the beach will appreciate your not shrieking madly, as this is quite unsettling and can really spoil a wonderful day out. Remember, it’s not always about you!

Lots and lots of new contributors.  Thank you all very much.

This one from Jonathon….

Kinda the way I feel in Alpena right now:

We just walked back from dinner.  Damn good thing that vodka stuff is warming.

I always wanted to lay naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace….

Evidently, Cracker Barrel has a policy against this.

Do you ever wake up, kiss the person sleeping beside you, and just feel glad that you are alive?
I just did and apparently will not be allowed on this airline again…

The first five days after the weekend are the hardest.

Lots of Alcohol while TDY….the killer vodka…. my dear friend.

And I’m afraid that has to be it for this week.  Out of time.  I had a great time putting this together for you, I hope you had as great a time reading it.

Love to you all.

Cheers,

Impish Dragon

Beautiful countryside

It’s nice to have someone else driving this year. It allows me to relax and play tourist. Seeing lots of these in northeastern Michigan.

I’ve heard lots on both sides of the debate about windmills and wind power but I don’t really have a fog in the fight so I’m not sure I really have much of an opinion.

I’ll try to do the occasional update over the next couple of days.

Cheers,

Impish Dragon

Good Morning Campers,

Last Saturday was an incredible day.  We trained over 300 individuals in CBRN Defense in about 11 hours.  For those of you who don’t know what CBRN defense is, it is Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense Training.  In other words, teaching military members how to stay alive in really crappy environments.

This is a little bit of what it looked like:

Just a little bit of a look at what I do in the real world for a living.

It was a good day, but exhausting.  12 hours on concrete floors was a bit much for this poor old dragon, but I’m a silver haired warrior and will continue on the battle.

Now, I think it’s time to break out some of the laffs.

Yeah, that’s about right.

Okay….

I just had a talk with myself and it didn’t go well.  Now, I’m grounded.

Losing weight should be like losing your virginity.  Once you lose it you can never get it back.

A conversation in Heaven

1st woman:    Hi! Wanda.        

2nd woman:   Hi! Sylvia.  How’d you die?       

1st woman:    I froze to death.       

2nd woman:   How horrible!

1st woman:    It wasn’t so bad. After I quit violently shaking from the cold, I began to get warm & sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What  about you?

2nd woman:   I died of a  massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him in the act.   But instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching TV.

1st woman:    So, what happened?

2nd woman:   I was so sure there was another woman  there somewhere that I started running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and searched, and down into the basement.  Then I went through every closet and checked under all the beds.  I kept this up until I had looked everywhere. Finally I was so utterly exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and died.

1st woman:   Too bad you didn’t look in the freezer—we’d both still be alive. 

Drank a whole bottle of tequila while doing my taxes… I’m getting 2 million dollars back this year.

Decaf coffee only works if you throw it at people.

Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid that doesn’t fit any of your containers.

And this is called the Space Time Continuum…

Have you ever just looked at someone and just imagined holding their head under water?

Oh… um…

Me neither.

I can understand that…

Papa Dragon most senior sent me this one:

MEDICARE PLAN PART G

If you are an older senior citizen and can no longer take care of yourself and need Long-Term Care, but the government says there is no Nursing Home care available for you, what do you do?  You may opt for Medicare Part G.

The plan gives anyone 75 or older a gun (Part G) and one bullet.  You may then shoot one worthless politician.  This means you will be sent to prison for the rest of your life where you will receive three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating and air conditioning, cable TV, a library, and all the health care you need.  Need new teeth?  No problem. Need glasses?  That’s great.  Need a hearing aid, new hip, knees, kidney, lungs, sex change, or heart?  They are all covered!  As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you at least as often as they do now!

And, who will be paying for all of this?  The same government that just told you they can’t afford for you to go into a nursing home.  And you will get rid of a useless politician while you are at it.

And now, because you are a prisoner, you don’t have to pay any more income tax.

And since we’re talking politicians, let’s get right to this stuff…

Yeah, I know…not as funny as they are scary.  But, we aren’t afraid of the truth around here, either.

I just found out that I’ll be going to Alpena, Michigan again next week.  We will be up there again helping another base out with an exercise and if I remember from last time it was extraordinarily difficult getting a connection and getting anything done, so there may or may not be an issue next Saturday. I’ll try to keep you guys in the loop the best I can and send you updates over my phone.

I went up there last year at this same time of year and we got hit with some pretty decent snow, so we may end up with the same thing again this year… sigh.  It just seems like it never ends.  It’s a darn good thing I like my job.  LOL!

But, having said that, it is a BEAUTIFUL part of the country!  And for that, if not for nothin’ else, I’m looking forward to going.  Going to miss Mrs. Dragon and Izzy Dragon, but I’m sure they’ll be happy to be rid of me for a week.

Okay, back to the issue.

Oh hey, while we’re talking…my sources of humorous material are drying up.  So, I’m reaching out to you, dear campers, and asking, if you see something funny, read something funny, send it my way and you can see it here, in your favorite ezine.

You can send it to impishdragon@hotmail.com; impishdragon@yahoo.com; impishdragon@gmail.com they all come to me.  I’m pretty sure if you write Impish Dragon on an envelope and put a stamp on it, it will eventually end up at my door.  I’m pretty sure there’s an aol mailbox somewhere that’s full of my mail that I just can’t access any more. 

Anyway…. send me your funnies, your jokes, your stories, even your questions and answers and they may end up right here.  Otherwise….when I run out of stuff, I’ll have to start making up my own and we all know we don’t want THAT to happen.

A lady goes to the doctor and complains that her husband is losing interest in sex. The doctor gives her a pill, but warns her that it’s still experimental. He tells her to slip it into his mashed potatoes at dinner, so that night, she does just that. About a week later, she’s back at the doctor, where she says, “Doc, the pill worked great! I put it in the potatoes like you said! It wasn’t five minutes later that he jumped up, raked all the food and dishes onto the floor, grabbed me, ripped all my clothes off, and ravaged me right there on the table!” The doctor says, “I’m sorry, we didn’t realize the pill was that strong! The foundation will be glad to pay for any damages.” “Nah,” she says, “that’s okay. We’re never going back to that restaurant anyway.”

A lady comes home from her doctor’s appointment grinning from ear to ear. Her husband asks, “Why are you so happy?” The wife says, “The doctor told me that for a forty-five year old woman, I have the breasts of a eighteen year old.” “Oh yeah?” quipped her husband, “What did he say about your forty-five year old ass?” She said, “Your name never came up in the conversation.”

A wife comes home late one night and quietly opens the door to her bedroom. From under the blanket, she sees four legs instead of just her husband’s two. She reaches for a baseball bat and starts hitting the blanket as hard as she can. Once she’s done, she goes to the kitchen to have a drink. As she enters, she sees her husband there, reading a magazine. He says, “Hi darling, your parents have come to visit us, so I let them stay in our bedroom. Did you say hello?”

A married man was having an affair with his secretary. One day, their passions overcame them in the office and they took off for her house. Exhausted from the afternoon’s activities, they fell asleep and awoke at around 8 p.m. As the man threw on his clothes, he told the woman to take his shoes outside and rub them through the grass and dirt. Confused, she nonetheless complied and he slipped into his shoes and drove home. “Where have you been?” demanded his wife when he entered the house. “Darling,” replied the man, “I can’t lie to you. I’ve been having an affair with my secretary. I fell asleep in her bed and didn’t wake up until eight o’clock.” The wife glanced down at his shoes and said, “You liar! You’ve been playing golf!”

Well, he certainly didn’t lie.

And now for what is my favorite part of the show…

I don’t know.  I’ve always wanted to sky dive.  But, there’s always been that little voice in the back of my head that says, “why would you want to get out of a perfectly good airplane while it’s still in the air?”

Yeah, my Air Force career was FULL of that one.

Yeah, that one is just wrong…on so many levels.

No kidding.  What a friggin’ shame.  The things we learned as kids from Saturday morning cartoons…like Penguins from Hoboken.  If you don’t know it, look it up.

Okay…. here’s a hint…

Okay, from there, you’re on your own.

Now THAT is the stuff that scares me more than anything else.

Yeah, okay…so that scares me too.  But, in a completely different way.

A first grade teacher had twenty-six students in her class.  She presented each child in her classroom with the first half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the saying.  It’s hard to believe these were actually done by first graders:

1. Don’t change horses … until they stop running.
2. Strike while the … bug is close.
3. It’s always darkest before … Daylight Savings Time.
4. Never underestimate the power of … termites.
5. You can lead a horse to water but … how?
6. Don’t bite the hand that … looks dirty.
7. No news is … impossible.
8. A miss is as good as a … Mr.
9. You can’t teach an old dog new … math.
10. If you lie down with dogs, you’ll … stink in the morning.
11. Love all, trust … me.
12. The pen is mightier than the … pigs.
13. An idle mind is … the best way to relax.
14. Where there’s smoke there’s … pollution.
15. Happy the bride who …gets all the presents.
16. A penny saved is … not much.
17. Two’s company, three’s … the Musketeers.
18. Don’t put off till tomorrow what … you put on to go to bed.
19. Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and … you have to blow your nose.
20. There are none so blind as … Stevie Wonder.
21. Children should be seen and not … spanked or grounded.
22. If at first you don’t succeed … get new batteries.
23. You get out of something only what you … see in the picture on the box.
24. When the blind lead the blind … get out of the way.
25. A bird in the hand … is going to poop on you.
And the winner is!!!!
26. Better late than … pregnant.

Yeah, I’m not thinking they were first graders either, but they sure were funny none the less.  Thanks for those Stephanie!

Monday is Veteran’s Day.  Formally known as Armistice Day, it was a day celebrating the ending of World War I.  Now, it is a day for honoring military veterans.  Not necessarily for honoring those that have given their lives for their country, that’s usually done on Memorial Day, but just those men and women who have spent time in uniform.

According to the strictest definition, a Veteran is someone who has already served and been discharged, but to me, active duty military and reservists are also Veterans in the sense that they too, have not only already served, but are continuing to serve, but that is neither here nor there. 

Veteran’s Day is for those who have worn the uniform…in any capacity.  Those who have stood up and said, “Yeah verily.  I swear to give up everything… EVERYTHING … including my life … to protect and defend all of the rest of you.  To put your happiness, safety, and well-being ahead of my own.  To ignore your jabs of derision, your pointless ridicule, and your mindless self-centered entitlement and understand that my honor, duty, and pride will not allow me to allow you to come to harm if my life…my body can protect you.”

So yeah, maybe it’s the idiot civilians I’ve been dealing with lately or the conversations I’ve been having with some people that make me feel the way that I feel, but you all should know the way that we feel about Veterans around here by now. 

So, take a moment and thank a Vet.  Thank him or her for their service, for their dedication, for their responsibility, for their hard work, self-sacrifice and discipline.  And if you are a Vet, or a straight civilian, find an active duty person and thank them for stepping into the line.  Thank them for now taking their spot.  Every class I teach to the military I tell them thank you for doing their part and putting their collective asses on the line between the horrible evilness in the world and my family and my friends and my loved-ones.

You should do the same.

Cheers,

Impish Dragon
