For my dear friend Aristus. [View all]

Yesterday afternoon getting back from coast run at the terminal i ran into a former member of your tribe I have known this man for years and he is a fine human politically morally aligns with us.

He is former Abrahams crewman he is our age and as you a Gulf war veteran.
He said something to me jokingly I replied hey man I’ve seen you
have finally started wearing boots with laces congratulations.

His reply all in jest fuck you crunchie I swear you must have had your parachute on upside down and landed on your head as he continued in assaulting me verbally.

I told him keep it up you’ll leave me no choice in going to Human Resources.

To those reading this an explanation Crunchie is term tankers refer to infantry.
And the joke about wearing boots with laces tanker boots have buckles and a joke is that they cannot tie shoelaces.
