Ron;
I laughed so much at your reply that I had to walk away from the PC. You told it much better than I did. We could for a long time and not tell it all.
Here is a good one. I was in the Army but a few hours,when we were issued uniforms.We walked in line and a guy asked what size are you? Thats the size that we got.Next came the shoes. I told them that I wore a size10 1/2. He gave me an 11. He said that my feet will grow into them..
I dressed and looked like a sad sack. It felt like I had snow shoes on. I never wore boots in my life. As I marched down the street. I passed another soldier coming my way. I heard a voice call out.(HEY SOLDIER)
I turned around and he asked if I knew what he was? I said no. He told me that he was a lieutenant. I thought well HOOPIDITY POO, Thats nice.
He told me that I had to salute. He then asked me how long I was in the Army. I told him two hours. OH well that was my first taste of KP. But I got the last laugh. The baker baked made a delicious cake.. LOL. I ate half of it.
Ron, for the sake of me I never remember any conflict with Jewish guys. We were all abused the same.
