| May 24, 2017 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Weird, but true; really! Vietnam, 1970: our Firebase "Trooper" was 100 miles south of Cam Ranh Bay. the supply lines had been cut off for several weeks. As a result, we had not received potable water and I was down to my last canteen. We had not showered for several weeks; while at lunch with our C rations, it began to rain! 4 or 5 of us had the same idea. We stripped to our underwear and lathered up, enjoying the shower. Just as we really got lathered up with that good Army soap, it quit raining!! I used my last canteen to get most of it off; did not have a cool drink of water for over 2 days! I am sure that others have a weird story or two to share. |
| May 24, 2017 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | I received a nerve block in my back Tuesday morning at 7, slept til 3, and have not been back to sleep since. Maybe that is the reason for Weird, but true. I have another: In 1984, I received a nerve block for my back at Tulane Medical Center. The recovery room was full, so I was placed in a large room of pregnant women in various stages of labor. Must have been 50 of them! I was pushed to the far corner away from everyone and curtains were pulled around. For the next hour, I was subjected to moaning, groaning, screaming, a lot of profanity, and one particular lady who was high as a kite. She repeatedly declared at the top of her voice--"All the pretty colors". You could have heard her a block away! An hour later, a nurse came to check on me and I begged "You have to get me out of Here!". I was moved to the hallway for the duration of my stay. |
