What you have is one of the most insecure guys in the world trying to look cool at 100 yards from every babe in the vicinity.
Just look at it that way, and you can almost LOL at the poor schmuck. It relieves a lot of the stress.
1000 pieces? Why not go all the way? LOL
Hey, you guys that loud noises bother due to your duty, my heart goes out to you. Hope it doesn’t look like I don’t appreciate your plight.
LOL I about have a few times. I've also shouted in a crowded Walmart "Will you please turn the damn P.A. volume down below a scream" LOL.
Artillery unit Vets likely are sensitive to BOOMs from fireworks because you can not protect your ears from low frequency noise damage as well as high frequency. Try this and you'll understand. Next time you hear a kid driving up with stereo thumping away stop up your ears as hard as you possibly can. You will still hear it. Why? Because the human skull is part of your hearing system. It conducts low frequency sounds.
Ever had a 155 MM cannon battery fire off just a few feet from you while you're sound asleep? I was up in the back of the Duce and Half sleeping and didn't hear Fire Mission called. Not that I was a responder to it I was the ammo hauler. We worked when gun crew slept. I came about a good foot off the bench from the sound wave concussion from full battery fire. It's an ungodly noise and feeling. This was in a two week Bivouac field training at summer camp. I endured just a few nights of it. Combat vets may endure years of it.
