Hold while I bend the laws of space...

[repsac]

This one happened to me while I was at the airshow this weekend. It's..well, strange. Very strange.


At the time, I was camping out around this F18 hornet from canada. The pilot was a blast, and even let myself and a few other people bask in the shade of it's wings. That was the closest I have ever been to such a plane, and I doubt I'll forget the experience.

While I was sitting there on the tarmac, several people came wandering past, all wanting to know things about the plane, or at least it seemed most wanted to know about the plane. One couple, whose accent made me think of new england; wanted directions to go out to eat. The pilot pointed my direction and told them that I live in the area, I probably could help.

Coming over to me, the following conversation happened.

YH=Yankee Husband
YW=Yankee Wife
R=Well, lil old me


YH (looking down since I wasn't about to stand) Well. Excuse me. Can you help me?
R=Might can. Probably can. What do y'all need?
YH We need directions. You know, to find a place?
R=Okay. To where?
YH=Applebees.
R=Uh..I'm sorry, there ain't one around. I mean, not for oh...sixty miles or so. You sure you don't mean...
YW=We want directions to Applebees! We ate there last night, so don't tell us there's not one!
R=(thinking) If you ate there last night, why can't you find it again today? (Said) Ok, so I won't tell you. Doesn't change the fact there isn't one. Whad do you want me to do? Bend the laws of space to change that?
YH= (in a huff) Now listen here. Are you calling me stupid? I know what I ate last night!
R=Never said that. Just said you couldn't have ate there.
YW= (to the hubby, but loud enough so I heard) Listen honey, this stupid redneck probably can't even read. I think I saw a booth of their's here, we can ask them.
R= (clearing my throat) You mean that booth over there. (points at one down the way)
YW= (snobbishly) YES. That booth. We'll ask them.
R= Good. You do that. Though, tell me something. I can't quite read well, so what's that sign say?

YH= (Meekly) Ruby Tuesday's.

The nerve of some people. At least they made an ass out of themselves.

Did they have the grace to look sheepish?

Oh, yeah. I took some of my family to the USAF museum... whole bunches of cool planes. It was fun walking under the wing of a B-2.

I've got that beat. I got to see a B-2 BEFORE it was declassified.

I was visiting my dad on-base with mom for something, and one ended up on the tarmac while we were there. They had to keep us inside for hours while dad got us clearance. I tell ya, it was like , but in a good way. We need a :stare&drool: emoticon or something.

Ruby Tuesdays= Applebees with a lot more black pepper.

Apparently, being an Air Force Brat has jaded me... I saw all the airplanes that ever came into the bases we were at when we lived on base... I never understood the attraction...

Now that I'm older, I do understand it... (-;
