It was a cold, wet winter in the training area called Baumholder, Germany. We were training with a unit of the Belgium Army. Damn, could those Belgium officers drink a bunch and still function the next day! It was late one cold night and I had already left the mess tent (which turned into a beer hall after chow), when I was summoned by the another drunken officer to come back to the tent and arm wrestle this big drunken Belgium Major, who had claimed to be the strongest soldier in the camp. Reluctantly, I entered the tent and there he sat ...... yep, one big dude for sure. He laughed out loud, that I was the one designated to beat HIM .....  Well, that pissed me off ...... so we squared off. Yep, I beat him both right and left handed ....... then he got pissed and a fight broke out. I left as the duty officer and two armed guards were entering the tent. THE END humfrz |

I can't decide whether seeing 116 posts on this thread has made me gain faith in humanity or lose it.

When I eat a big meal, the added weight throws my handling off. These cars are so sensitive.

I'm amazed this thread is still going. Amazed or sickened, not sure which. Certainly not amazed in a good way.
