The stuff of which legends are made!

Vince

An Air Force Captain narrowly escaped serious injury recently when he decided to try horseback riding, even though he had no lessons or prior experience. He mounted the horse, unassisted, and the horse immediately sprang into action. As it galloped along at a steady and rhythmic pace, the Captain began to slip from the saddle. In terror, he grabbed for the horse's mane, but could not get a firm grip. He tried to throw his arms around the horse's neck, but he began to slide down the side of the horse anyway!

The horse galloped along, seemingly impervious to its slipping rider.
Finally, losing his frail grip, the Captain attempted to leap away from the horse and throw himself to safety. Unfortunately, his foot became entangled in the stirrup, and he was now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as his head struck against the ground over and over and over.

As his head was being battered against the ground and he was mere moments away from unconsciousness, to his great fortune a Infantry Soldier shopping at KMART saw him and quickly unplugged the horse.

Cheers, Vince

Hey Bushy, you lied to us. You said before that you was in the Navy.

Take 2 tylenols and call me in the morning.

Bushmaster

Just because I spent 22 1/2 years in th U.S. Navy doesn't mean I didn't fly a lot to and from new duty stations and ships.. Besides my civilian job had me flying all over the globe...

I see no use for tylenol...I'm a rize syndrome kid. Bayer...The real asprin...

Thats funny Tracker, considering here no one cares where the coin is from, even 50 cent Americans get thrown into the "25 cent" bin in the cash. Laughing

As for the machines they should be accepted, friends I know who have been to the US say the machines accept Canadian 25 cent coins as American ones. Probably because its the same machines, just sold in both countries as "one and the same" ?? Confused
