Do you know the difference between a fairy tale and a sea story?

A fairy tale always begins with “Once upon a time” and

a sea story always starts with “Now, this is a no-s#!%%er” (NTINS).

He was a Combat Engineer, who didn't build a lot of things, just pretty much sought out IED's and destroyed them!!

A real great kid, I'm excited about his future, he's tough!!

Kid took a walk in the wood with another kid last week and they found a dead raccoon and handled it..

By the time they got around to telling Mom about it..Raccoon was too far gone to do a rabies exam.

The other kids Mom contacted the health dept and they recommended rabies shots.

My kids Mom wanted to know if it was really necessary.

Yea, it is..

Otherwise you are playing Russian roulette.

Why take a chance with something that is 100% lethal when there is something curative.

The kicker was his taking double the dose he should have (instructions were in 4pt font size) of an expectorant that had a main ingredient of Codeine.
