ryoder 1,406 #28 November 29, 2010 I'll never forget the time I was sitting in a KingAir next to a certain TI known as "Billy", when he suddenly asked his passenger (an 18yo named Jimmy): "Jimmy, do you like movies about gladiators? Oh, no, I thought; He wouldn't...Oh yes he would; He went through the whole routine.I think the kid was too young to have seen the movie, and didn't know WTF to think of the odd questions.

JohnMitchell 14 #29 November 29, 2010 One evening at work, we had some Cub Scouts come in for a tour. A couple of them sidled over to take a look at one of the radar scopes being worked by one of our senior controllers. Joe, a former Marine Vietnam vet, clean cut, mature, and very respectable looking, turns to the kids and says "So, do you like movies about Hercules?" I almost choked not trying to laugh out loud.
