See this man? I told him that he was a liar! I said it right to his face.
Many years ago while working for the airline we had a charter for General Noman Schwarzkopf. He and a group of friend were going to a fishing camp.
I had to write down all the names and bag weights and also their body weights. When I asked the General how much he weighed he ignored me. I was calling him "sir" He was not ignoring me on purpose but "sir" was not his name! When I said "General" he turned his head and asked "Yes mam?" I told him that I needed to know how much he weighed. He looked me in the eye and said "180lbs" I looked him up, I looked him down. That's when I called him a liar. I told him that I know how much I weighed and I knew for a fact that he did not weigh 180lbs! Tell the truth! He laughed and said that 180 was his dream weight but that was not going to ever happen. After a few minutes the weight and balance for the plane was done and he shook my hand and said thanks for the help and they were off.
So I have called a 4 star, retired General a liar. And was not court marshalled for it.
That's funny Krissy! Where were they going?

ReplyDeleteSomehow I managed to post my previous comment three times. So, I deleted the dupes.
ReplyDeleteHa! Good one! I told the Gman about it and he had a good laugh too....glad you weren't court martialled!
ReplyDeletein the pic he looks a little younger than when he was in the office!! good thing you didnt have to ask his age! and remember,they sent the old navajo from King Salmon and Georgie to get him? but, I guess he wanted the real Alaskan experience!

Geez, General Norman Schwarzkopf???
ReplyDeleteYou just amaze me Krissy girl.
Only you would have the audacity to call him a liar. He looks like a nice man, I'm sure he thought you were funny. Have you ever once been honest about your weight on your driver's license? I have not except for my very first one when I actually wasn't fat.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love you!
ReplyDeletePS My sister used to show Arabs on a national scale. She was showing once against Patrick Swayze. Being the snotty teen I was, I told him while he was walking by, "I hope my sister beats you!". To which he said, "May the best horse win!" And, well, she did!
ReplyDeleteWow you have guts.
