    For sure. Had one where he lit up one of those sampans smuggling guns into the Delta. Said they'd run in at high tide, wait the tide to go out and ground their boats. Then offload the goods. All fine and dandy until you get spotted while you're beached.

    LOL! I can tell you from experience that it is very difficult to maneuver a boat out of the water!

    Depends on your definition of "maneuver". Those 2 20mm rockets he hit it with "maneuvered" it rather well..

    Good thing you have fellow vets to encourage you, hardhead.
    Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours.

    Hey! That was after coffee AND Mt. Dew. And also when my sister and I dragged that monstrously heavy refrigerator out of a friend's basement.

    Besides, it's the only way I can get a word in edgeways in this house with all you males.
