Next to Plantation Ranch is Big Thicket Camp Park which was developed by a friend on mines family.
He and I got a cooler of beer and went up there to see if we could see the Ruskies.
We were outside the house which is just a few feet away from the fence line of Plantation Ranch.
We could see the whole bunch coming, they were in golf carts.
Right across the fence on the Plantation Ranch we noticed 2 Secret Service snipers had us in their cross-hairs.
My buddy and I were about half looped, so we started jacking around with them holding our beers up pointing at them to shoot the beer out of our hand.
They were starting to laugh so we pushed it a little further and put the beers on our heads.
They really started to laugh with that so I then held my beer in front of my buddies chest.
That did it, we took out the SS snipers. They had to sit down they were laughing so hard.
When the Ruskies came by we yelled to them to come have a beer with us. They wanted to come over but they wouldn't let them.
LOL!! I could see that happening back then.
These days, however....
Great story.
To be sure, I wouldn't do the same thing if I had the opportunity today. I've not only gown older and wiser with family responsibilities, but our government has grown more fascistic.
In the late 80s in Lago Vista, TX the international bicycle people were training (they do every year) and I was getting off work at 10p or so and one cat had a blue training uniform
on with CCCP on his back! A real, live Russian!
I was 19 or so and had a drink or two before leaving work and
of course had to try to mess with him. He kept his eyes down
and walked straight ahead, totally ignoring me.
OK. Yinz merely took them out with laughter. I was thinking of something more sinister. My bad and my apologies.
