20. I worked in commercial construction and the company paid for my motel room during the week. I brought home a bedbug infestation along with a case of scabies from the last one I stayed in before I retired. The scabies were relatively easy to get rid of. I didn't even know I had bedbugs until they were well established. 2 1/2 years and hundreds of dollars later I think I may finally be coming to the end of this nightmare.
I do a lot of onsite work. When I check into a motel, before I even bring a bag in, I raise the covers & check mattress seams with my flashlight. If in doubt, I check right out again & find other lodging. Despite my precautions, I picked up bedbugs in Tallahassee in '20, along with Kung Flu. the Chinkypox was easier by far. I know the struggle. --Tennessee Budd --
20 Been there done that. I do not wish those bugs on anyone. Brought bugs back from a vacation rental. Hardest things to get rid of on the planet. Took months to even realize what was happening. They are like little frigging ghost bugs. They are a true test of patience and sanity.
it used to be that you could solve bedbugs with a good blast of DDT. then the environmental nazis took over and "no, you can't use that any more.." and here we are..
#15 The enlisted mens club on Okinawa was called The Animal Pit. They had dink bands, this was 68. They would sing and I'll try phonics, Row lin Row lin Row lin on de Ree veer.
Ah, somebody who may've heard of the alleged Two Dollar Annie and BJ Alley. Actually. that was a great place and time if'n you got a chance to see the Habus take off.
#3 how about a 1968 Olds 98 with a sketchy battery, stripped third gear, and an idle set fast to keep it running - from a stop on flat ground it would pick up speed and shift gears, idling at 30 miles per hour. (my employers work truck had a bent spoon holding the choke plate open on the carburetor.).
Many years ago, I was trading barbs with my older brother. He got in a good one on me. I said "Last week I thought I'd given birth while on the toilet. But I checked and it was just a turd. So I named it after you."
I don't do FB so I'm glad you post these here. Keep 'em coming, Kenny!
ReplyDeleteI don't think WC does it much anymore either.
DeleteI'm 3 weeks into a 30 day suspension right now. They basically gave me 30 days to save up lots of good shit.

I was on Okinawa 67-69. "Ring of wire, Ring of wire" is still stuck in my head.

BC Street too
Delete#20 reminds me of a motel we used in LaRose, Louisiana, while we were rigging a seismic ship. We only used it that one trip...
ReplyDelete#14: Flag that guy down; his story is a Country Music Hall of Fame song.
ReplyDelete#4 That's gotta be the dumbest hair cut ever. When I see it I know I have absolutely nothing to say to the idiot.

ReplyDelete#16. Nothing pisses me off like somebody with the sad tale, "I had an allergy attack last night. I dreamed I saw a picture of a peanut."
