A thought for the day

[ColonelJack]

As I heard Garry Moore say on an old episode of "To Tell The Truth".....

"You know what an expert is, don't you?  An expert is a fellow who knows 47 different ways to make love, but he doesn't know any girls."

"It's not enough to be able to lie with a straight face; anybody with enough gall to raise on a busted flush can do that. The first way to lie artistically is to tell the truth — but not all of it. The second way involves telling the truth, too, but is harder: Tell the exact truth and maybe all of it...but tell it so unconvincingly that your listener is sure you are lying."--Robert Heinlein

[Garibaldi]

"Probably the most important thing is that when things get really bad and the world looks its darkest, you just have to throw up your hands and say "Well, alright!" cause it's probably gonna get a whole h*** of a lot worse."

--Alferd Packer, Cannibal! The Musical

For all of you Whovians out there: This is my Timey Wimey Detector. It goes ding when there's stuff.

Also, it can boil an egg at thirty paces. Whether you want it to or not, actually. So I've learned to stay away from hens. It's not pretty when they blow.

Haha. And bowties are definitely cool!

[ol'fido]

And fezes. Fezes are definitely cool too.

[LSThiker]

And fezes. Fezes are definitely cool too.

Someday you could just walk past a fez.

[C/Cool]

NEVER!!! They may be cool but they don't match anything else you wear...

Except for the polo combination. Hey...

[C/Cool]

Right you are! Now the Stetson... That will go with every outfit. Even the BDU's...

A veteran is someone who, at one point, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount of "up to and including their life."

Now that is a thought for the day and everyday  :clap:

Your right about that. Today I wore my black Stetson for Good Friday.

Fixed that for you.  There are veterans in every country, not just the USA.

But here in the US, at least for the last 40 years, its a voluntary choice to write the check.  In a lot of other countries that is not true.

So you're saying a Draftee is not a veteran?   Yeah, I dare you to say that in any Veterans Organization's meeting. You might live.

No that's not what I'm saying.  What I'm saying is that in the last 40 years those people in American service, chose to be there.  It takes nothing from those who got drafted, or live in countries where service is required.  Try reading what I wrote as opposed to reading in to what I wrote so you can pick a fight.

That's cool! I can't pull off the Stetson but they do look cool when worn right.

I don't know if it makes a whole lot of difference how you got there. But if you're in your country's armed forces and you're getting shot at, I would say you've earned the title of "Veteran".

So you're saying if your in the armed forces and not getting shot at you haven't earned the title Veteran

PHall-

Why are you ignoring the words "at least in the last 40 years?" Don't be so picky!
