There has to be a joke somewhere that starts like that. Regardless that's my day everyday. Unfortunately that will soon end. The Giant Marine and the Phlip are leaving me. They are returning to their regular scheduled programs stateside and the other Specialist is going back to his unit. I will miss them all. We've built a tight family in a short time. Fortunately EOD is a VERY small community and hopefully I will be working with them again very soon. I plan on hooking up with the Phlip when me and Noel go to DC. He has quickly become a GREAT friend.
YAY!!! I have 6 followers. Thanks you ladies. And BTGOAL, thank you for spreading the word about my blog. I love you. Now I know most of you are reading this for the comic relief, so I'll try to please the masses. Unfortunately my days are slow at times, so some days may not be as entertaining. But today has a decent story. Short but entertaining...
Once again, I was standing in Triage and I keep feeling something on my head, so I assume fly. The damn things are everywhere over here. So I keep swatting at it. Little did I know that it was actually a string hanging down that touched my head ever so lightly when I stood up. SO I stand there swatting at this thing. I turn around and there stands about 6 people watching me. Naturally a tour came through as I was doing this. The tour guide didn't miss a beat. He said in good timing and tone. "Ladies and Gentlemen, what you see before you is the ever elusive EOD tech trying to figure out his own basic motor functions. We ask that you don't feed them or stand to close to the cage. They are prone to throw their own feces. We also ask that you not tap on the glass, as it scares the EOD techs and we then have to throw in lots of sugar, coffee, porn, and gun magazines to calm them.
I am off tomorrow ladies, so I have to give my time up to the most beautiful and amazing woman in the world. I love her dearly.
Hahaha props to the tour guide for being on top of the situation. My husband told me about the flies keeping him busy in Afghanistan, apparently when he was busy on watch the only things to entertain him were killing and freezing the flies with Dust Off...
