Why is it that when 2 people dont speak the same language...The one that speaks english always thinks it will help to say the same shit you've been trying to say all along just in a louder voice?
Also, on the same note. Knowing full well most Hadji dosent speak english, I will still get the worst case of the ass when he dosent understand "get out of the car" till I point my weapon at his face?

No shit there I was....(No, really, This part really happened)
At the local drinking facility when I hear this exact story come from two-tables to my left.
Guy #1 says loudly "No shit there I was"
Guy #2 says "Oh yea, where were ya?"
Guy #1 still way to loud "Northern Iraq, Mosul, West Side"
Guy #2 says "A'right, so what happened"
Guy #1 says WAY to loud "3 day OP, watching a major IED intersection, me and my buddy both fall asleep together...No ones on guard and when I wake up I find my buddy is gone, I'm surrounded by 15 heavily armed hadji, and I'm down to my last cigarette and an E-Tool"
Guy #3 "Oh shit, Well fuck man, Were you scared?"
Guy #2 "Oh yea, what the hell were you scared of pussy?"
Now I've heard a variation of this story from my old man when I was growing up and at this point I can't believe this is really happening to me until...
Guy #1 lowers his voice, locks me in with a Blue-Steel look and says "I was scared one of those motherfuckers was gonna get away."
I think I might have pooped myself when it happened.

It always has been for me. Example: I was cleaning out my pay-out-the-ass-storage facility and had to get rid of a crappy wooden entertainment center. I needed it gone right then and had no saws or tools to take it apart. Then, as if the thought descended from heaven, I looked down at the two meat-mallets attached to my arms, and preceded to make the entertainment center into small pieces that I could fit into the dumpster. I didn't break anything that time, but my hands were scabbed, blue, purple, and yellow claws for a few weeks. I couldn't even beat off...almost.Darksaga wrote:Stupidity should be painful.
