AtypicalCommonplace

He says

“Oh my god” and we laughed. He spent some time thinking,

“Wow. Things have really changed tremendously if you think about it.”

“Gosh, it’s probably the cell phone.”

I asked “would you like to elaborate?”

Him: “no” 😂😂😂

“Probably Paris.”

I asked why and he gave a very sly giggle

“Never mind you asking that”

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think we can all guess.

EDITED:

I was laughing so hard and he asked why I was laughing so much. I said “Because I bet I can guess why it was your favorite place”

Him: “and you’d be right”

He starts thinking and goes “god, that was the ugliest woman I’ve ever seen in my life…”

Me: “so why you’d do it?”

Him: i was drunk, I thought she was beautiful.

I proceeded to teach him what “beer goggles means”

Him: I’ll have to remember that.

We are both laughing so hard. When we finally stop.

Me: “wait but Jack, if she was so ugly why was Paris your favorite?”

Him: because the rest of them weren’t

Commentary - Y’all I am DYINGGGGGG!!!!

This one gave him a big smile.

“Phew, I learned to fly in an open cockpit biplane. And the gas gauge was a vial in the top wing with a cork in it. And now of course it’s entirely different.”

“The whole instrument panel is much better than my initial flying days.”

“I can’t think of anything worse!”

“Oh god how do I answer that” he says 😂

“The first time I got back to the field and when I dropped my gear my indicators showed I had three down and locked. What they didn’t show was that I didn’t have a wheel on my right strut. So that crash was considered being shot down and destroyed the aeroplane, but I was able to continue flying.”

“The second time I was in a different type of airplane, I was in a P 47, I was so low, all I could do when I got hit was put the nose between two trees and let the trees take the beating. And there again, it was an accident.”

I asked if he thought it was luck.

He said,

“In some respects, in other respects it was due to having flying time. I was an instructor before I went over seas so I had a lot of flying time, so my reaction was quicker because of that.”

“You know; I saw a guy, he was a motorcyclist, and he had one of those German helmets on with a swastika on it. And I said to him ‘last time I saw one of those, I shot the sonofabitch down’.

He turned as red as a beet and took it off.

I think one of these days someone’s going to punch me out. These things come out of my mouth without me thinking.” (Chuckles)”
