Probably one of our charity cases - we've been taking on a lot of infantry lately...
Wasn't allowed on campus.....my company switched from the orange safety vests to the lime green ones a couple of years ago....the admissions office said I'd stick out like a...uuuh....uuuh...."pickle" in a punch bowl........ of orange kool-aid.
If you fellas put up a live thread during the Cotton bowl, please ping me.....Always enjoyed a good brawl.
Now to add fuel to the fire.
There were these three fellas who all decided to celebrate their graduation from college south of the border.
They had graduated from U Tennessee, U Texas, and Texas A&M.
As it happens, in a bacchanal of this type, they all independently ended up in the same bar, met, and started arguing the relative merits of their schools.
On the other side of the room a fight broke out, and a couple of patrons were killed.
When the local police arrived, the three were mistaken as the perpetrators, and hauled of to jail, for subsequent trial for murder.
Unfortunately, all were found guilty and sentenced to death, in the electric chair.
On the scheduled day, they were led to the chamber and prepared to meet their fate.
The first was to be the Texas grad.
He was strapped into the chair and after the standard preparations, the switch was thrown.....nothing happened...after a couple of minutes, the switch was again thrown.....again nothing. At this point the warden appeared and told the astonished Texas grad that the events proved his innocence...this miracle was proof that he should be released, and so he was.
Next up was the Tennessee grad. Again, the switch was thrown twice, with no resultant death. The warden again appeared, and released the prisoner, because of the apparent divine intervention.
The A&M grad was led to the chair, and strapped in, and the switch was thrown....nothing.
At his point, the prisoner shouted out, "Hey fellas, I am a Engineering Technology graduate of Texas A&M, so I can give you a hand here....If you'll take that red wire and that black wire..................................
