I recently returned to work after a year abroad with the Army Reserve.  On my first day back, a visitor from headquarters took me aside.  “How are you?” he asked, looking concerned.  “Do you feel all right?”  “I’m fine,” I replied, nonplussed.  “Great!” he said.  “I heard that you were away from work for a year because you were in a wreck.”  It took a minute before it dawned on me what he meant.  “Iraq,” I said finally.  “I’ve  just come back from I-raq.”

bogater, I believe they call that selective hearing.......

Ya hear something, you don't think about what you heard, so what you heard and what your brain processed if off kilter,  now we got a bad message going through.

Happens to us old farts all the time.   Just ask my wife and or my kids and their families.    Grandkids, I make them repeat it and I repeat it back,  Don't want to mess up their little feeling.      You heard the story on grandkids, spoil them, and feed them chocolate about 15 minutes before their parents come get them.....  OH payback is so good, Grandpa just loves it.

That's all I have to say about that.

How many miles you racked up?

You talking in my lifetime on 2 on 3 wheels or just on MGM?

MGM = 242,000 and some change.

I heard DDT has 406,000 on his 98.

That's all I have to say about that.
