Nicknames...got several When 5 years old I had to endure getting my hair cut by my Uncle... First haircut finished, my Grandmother said.....Your head looks like a “spud” So I was “spud” until my next name assignment in Basic training when we were being inspected.. Best spit shined boots and neat uniform got a weekend pass. I really wanted to get one (pass) so I worked on my boots with my secret recipe.. When it came time to be inspected my Drill Instructor (nickname KoolAid..HE wuz so cool) took one look at me and said D—n Boy !! It looks like the KIWI Bird done S-it on your boots !!! That was my name through basic, AIT- and Viet Nam.. Next fast forward to middle age when my 70 year old Grandmother called me “MIKEY” in the Emergency Room where I worked at the time. The Nurses have not let me live that one down yet. Oh,and also now “Contrarian” because my wife says that I would argue with a sign post.
Great stories,thanks KIWI Bird :)
