Early 80s
Thanks. I was at Lowry the latter half of ‘81. Never heard of it. I can remember a couple of times when a nice warm electrocution might have been welcome, though.
And don’t drag your lawnmower backwards - if you slip you can cut off a foot...and when caught in a lightening storm on the golf course, hold your one-iron over your head because even God can’t hit a one-iron...
Just seeing what the idiot had done to himself still makes me cringe. He recovered, and went from LCpl to PFC with a fine but he kept his nads, with a lot of pain.
20 years in the Navy. Ship pulls into port overseas. Drops you off in the worst part of town, and tells you not to go there.
Where do you think the sailors go?
Had a DIVO warn us about the “buy me drinkee” girls in Naples, how it was a waste of our money. Later I walked into a bar in Naples to find same LT with TWO of those girls.
From which the phrase—”Many is the slip twixt the cup and the lip”!
The mentality of this is right up there with the hilarious video of some magillas who give a loaded charged AK to a chimpanzee— -who pulls the trigger and dances in circles. Pretty sure that was “created” but.. after this photo— who knows?
“Don’t mix the AC with the DC” “That’s why electrical plugs are named male and female”
AF friend a ways back told me about an AWACs plane on the ground (with ground crew guiding them out to taxi), had someone switch on the radar. Killed the two on the ground, instantly. Very large microwave generator. Horrible.
i you ever drew a cartoon like that, you’d be crucified as a racist!
What was his justification for not following his own safety brief?
Not unusual, but you should see the frostbite warning pictures the flight doc gave us every fall at Minot.
That is one intense radiation emitter. It is somewhat believable.
Been there (Minot), saw those. I was a missile crew member there in the late 70s. Nasty frostbite.
