When I was in officer training school at Lackland Air Force Base we had room inspections every week, and they were all unannounced. After the day was over and my roommate and myself entered our room we found the inspection report. We were restricted to the base for a week for the violation of "future dust". I never could figure out how anyone could find future dust, but in the military anything is possible.

When I was in the Naval Reserves I had a supervisor that wrote my evaluation for promotion. He had figured out a system where he could do multiple evaluations in the minimum amount of time. He sort of used the cut and paste technique. His favorite phrase that he used on almost all the evaluations he did was " he is so good at his job that he can make Jello stick on the wall. He has also trained others to do the same".

I had an instructor in an electronics school that had a clever way to keep students awake in class. If you can remember solid state electronics ( tubes and chunky components that had to be soldered) you know what a capacitor with solder leads looks like. When a student nodded off or just fell a sleep, he would pick up his capacitor and insert the leads into an electrical outlet to charge it. He would then remove his capacitor from his charging port and toss it at the student. Suddenly the student jumped up and was instructed to stand in the corner (w/o a dunce cap). His point was quickly made - don't fall a sleep in my class. I believe this was the first prototype for what we refer to as the TASER !!

My uncle was a great Carpenter and loved to do woodworking. One day he decided to build a flat bottom john boat. He didn't have a workshop so he decided to build it in his basement, kind of like Gibbs on NCIS. When he finished the boat it was beautiful, but when he decided to take it out of the basement he had a problem. The boat would not fit throughthe stair well going up to the back door. My uncle got so mad then he decided to cut it in half and take It outside and burn it on the woodpile. I guess that this was an extremely bad experience for him and he decided that he would never go fishing again.

A few years ago motion picture producer Steven Spielberg posted this picture of himself on the internet.
Steven Spielberg with trophy
He received hundreds of internet emails and posts from animal lovers and anti-hunting groups denouncing him.
There is something odd about the picture as Mr. Spielberg is not holding the traditional hunting rifle.

Not to brag, but I haven’t been late for anything this year.
