T37 tweets and T-38's? You weren't training at Williams AFB were you?

I don't get seasick, but my Brother in Law ws helped when I gave him ginger ale. Before that he was taking Dramamine, which didn't prevent the seasickness.

Not on planes or at large format movies, but long swells at sea set me off pretty bad.

Much better after upchucking and usually doesnt return.

I fed the Pacific with an omelette from FATCATS last time I sailed with Rich...too long ago...

Luckly I have never been sea sick. I think I got used to the sea going out deep sea fishing in the gulf stream 40 miles off Datona beach Fla with my dad when I was about 8 years old in 1958, great memories.

How many eggs does it take to screw in a light bulb?

None, eggs don't have hands.

Umm, let this one lay, shall we? If you don't quit this foul mess I'm gonna grab a pole, tree, or something and hit somebody right in the beak.
