in rain."

Oh no, not Platoon quotes. I was teamed up with one of my buddies on a gas pipeline survey, and we were trading Bunny and Junior quotes back and forth ALL DAY. We were cracking up and the rest of the crew thought we had gone nuts.

"Redneck noise dude. Make about as much sense as you do."

"Don't drink that a-hole, you'll get malaria"
"Yeah, I hope so"
