He’s a really good actor, I remember when he was on One Life to Live many years ago.

Well there is not much more to tell.   It happened up in Rome fifty years ago.   When I lost the job I had already anticipated it and had signed up for a delayed enlistment for a guaranteed job in the USAF.

The rest is history.

If that guy was you, I don't want to know.

Actually, I enlisted in the USAF and never lived there again so I don’t know much about the community but President Ford’s “Whip Inflation Now” program was started about the same time so the lay-offs came at the very worst time.
