Mine is one day I got a paper cut, and had to put a bandaid on it.

When I was an Airman stationed at Little Rock Air Force base in Arkansas I went to my first retirment ceremony. This is when the Air Force was allot more fun and drinking was encouraged, if not demanded. Well anyway, a female civilian was retiring from the 314 CES (Civil Engineer Squadron) lock shop with 25 some odd years of service. At a retirment there usually is a presentation of awards, family is present and the commander says some good things about the retiree (true or not) and then the retiree speaks about their llong and distinguished career. Well the commander asked her what she was going to do after she retired and she replied " I am going to lay in a ditch and suck cock until I regain my dignity!" I dont know what happened next because our entire shop of 28 troops (she was part of our shop) was laughing our asses off. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/stare.gif

When I was a tech at Lexus, I had a customer that complained that when he turned his radio volume down, he could no longer hear the music. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Ok, ok. This is crazy. Had a client several years ago. His mother (widowed) let him manage her assets for some reason. He was an aggressive trader and options player - to him I wasn't a planner as much as a stockbroker.

To make a long story short, he started with about 500K, grew it to over 1.5mm in a year trading. I begged and pleaded for him to pay off his house or invest in his business or buy and annuity or something - anything but lose it. He didn't.

He now has less than 20K in his account. I don't know what his mom is going to do http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif I haven't managed his account for years - couldn't stand to watch it blow up.

I was running a bunch of industrial construction inside the United Airlines hanger at SFO. Â*This hanger is HUGE. Â*About 130' high and about 400' x 400' (and it has another identical half on the other side ).
I holds 4 747's at once. Â*Anyway, the steel doors are mammoth (110' tall and about 1 foot thick-steel ). Â*This dumbass parts runner was closing them (with a joystick ) and just before they shut, he stuck his head through the closing crack to say something to a friend. Â*The emergency shutoff activated but the doors still coasted a few inches, crushing his head just enough to make a mess (blood everywhere, eyes bulging, etc. ). Â*He survives and months later, he has a meeting with all the safety bigwigs to discuss what happened and how to prevent it. Â*He shows them how he was closing the doors and then as the doors are about 18" apart, he says, "and then I stuck my head through the crack like this" and did it again.

I could go on and on, have to run a few stories by you next time we're at the lake with you guys!

I remember one a few years ago when we were called for a head injury at the scene of a break-in. P.D. had a guy that had beat down his next door neighbor's door thinking it was his own house after coming home drunk and couldn't get in. These neighbors were an elderly couple and the drunk guy was met by the old man living there. He thought the old man was actually in his house so, he started wrestling around with him. The old lady wakes up to the noise, walks out, see's what's going on and grabs a big-ass frying pan. She hits the drunk guy once, over the head and knocks him out cold for about 10 minutes. He had just awaken when we got there.

We went back to the station thinking what a bad night this drunk dude had. He broke into the wrong house, got beaten up by an elderly couple, and now was going to jail. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

I've got plenty of disgusting stories, but wouldn't be really good to share them over the internet. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
