Pluggers by Rick McKee for September 14, 2017

It’s gotta be those senior moments.

Sad.

Glory days

The best part is that every time I retell the story it gets a little better. We NEVER let truth get in the way of a good story.

My father was a WW2 Royal Canadian Navy vet. Like a lot of vets he would only talk about the funny stuff that happened. They only talked about the terrible stuff with other vets and likely not much of that. They were the only ones capable of understanding it. Once, and only once, he alluded to this. I had been going on about something and he told me that when he (they) got together they didn’t talk about the time their buddy got his head blown off. They talked about the pranks they pulled and so on.

The stories, unlike pluggers, never seems to get old.

Borrowed the jeep! Borrowed!

If the plugger in question is a WWII vet, his stories will be worth hearing again. That was a time unique in history. We have just remembered 9/11 (and rightly so); but single events with massive casualties were all too common throughout that 6 year war. Friends were lost on a weekly basis. That generation deserves the title “Greatest”. Read some of their memoirs; this plugger finds them addictive.

And the story is never the same twice.

This is way you want to buddy-up to people with SHORT memories

really tiresome, too…
