They come in handy when out on the town. If I get too hammered, I can be wheeled home like a wheelbarrow.

JSR OP said:my grandfather was Airforce, and my Great Grandfather was Union Army during the US Civil War
JSR OP said:It was in my genes. I'm fourth generation military. My Uncle was Black Watch/RCR, my grandfather was Airforce, and my Great Grandfather was Union Army during the US Civil War
MMSS said:That's some long lifespans... looking at your profile you have about 10 years on me... my great-grandfather served in WW1.
JSR OP said:Yes, it seems that way. I was born in 1971, my uncle was born in the late 1930's, my Grandfather was born in 1900, and my
great grandfather was born in 1837.
My dad was a baby boomer born in 1947 when my grandfather returned from England after the war. He and my grandmother were in their late 40's when my dad was born, and my Great Grandfather had a younger 2nd wife (by 10 yrs).

Meanwhile Tom the teacher is home correcting exams watching CSI Miami having a beer. And Joe is at the bar with Sally the new accounting chick who works two cubicles down.
And both are making more money than you. ;D
