A Flying Fortress



So my buddy Gregg and I are in the Target parking lot when a 90 year old guy with a B-17 Flying Fortress cap walks over and says “Hey guys, any chance you could drive me to that liquor store over there?” 46 missions over Europe, one shoot down in Yugoslavia, and several angry Italian mothers later, we share with him the fact that we both went to OSU. "Ohio State?! When I played for the Badgers one of those sons o' bitches tackled me so hard I was knocked out for two weeks!" This inspired a return ride offer after he made his purchase. "Thanks! I don't even drink. Give it away as gifts." Cruising back, he commented on the pretty girls in their summer wear. Gregg's "you've been around the block once or twice haven't ya?" was greeted with a smile, a wink, and a "twice."
