Linda S.O.G. sent me a link to a WONDERFUL blog called Sand Gram.
This is just a sample .... By the way, Linda and I have served
together, and she is one tough cookie. I won't tell you what
"S.O.G" stands for. Maybe she will. (She's a roll-over below)

I
have been asked what it is like to fly over the Pacific, for forty
hours. I mean, what do you do up in the cockpit all that time. Well, as
we stare out the window at the countless white caps, we play little
thought games over the ICS (intercom) to pass the time. Mind you, there
are sometimes over ten people on this group line and the answers come
so fast that you might now know who said what.
I’ll pass on an actual
conversation that we had from Japan to Thailand during the eight hours.
The funny thing is this might go strong for about an hour and then die
out only to be brought back to life a little later. The guy I’m
flying with was in the left seat this leg, he clicks his interphone and
fires the first shot.

“If you could throw anyone out of the back of the Herk, who would you toss?”
From the line comes the following exchange, all different people, so I couldn’t even tell you who they were.
“The first person I’d toss is Rosie, that fat pig”
“Screw that, Hillary would have to be first, then maybe tie a line to Rosie and take her second”
“I have to ask, can we do a group dump or would we have to come down
and land to pick up each person? I only ask because we might exceed the
monthly allotted flight time for the Herk and be forced to ask Congress
for more money.”
“That’s a good question, how about a group dump and we set up a
pay-for-view deal to offset the cost and try to recoup some of the
money the Gov’t spends to let us fly?”
“Oh that would be rocking, put a little helmet cam showing their face
as we toss them out the back and watch them put little holes in the
desert.”
“How about starting on the West coast and working our way to DC? That
way we can take all those know it all Hollywood idiots and give them a
free ride.” [A nut for a nut] | ” |
