LOMAO...this actually happened....
Back during our military years;
We had just arrived back to Ft Bragg, NC the night before.
At breakfast the next morning we were doing our normal routine, when we over heard a couple of other nearby soldiers talking about what they had heard...at first we thought it was just another "rumor has it" BS. From time to time we'd catch bits and pieces of their conversations and soon realized they were talking about us.
Well..."X" being the fellow he is....looked over at them and asked where [they] heard that and who are these guys you're talking about...wanting to hear more "X" kept asking these soldiers questions and this one soldier at the other table just kept adding BS to the BS tales he was telling.
Well as these other soldiers were leaving, a soldier who actually knew us called out by name 2 of our group's names and were need "upstairs", referring wanted up at headquarters.
The astonished, embarrassed, shocked, however you want to describe the gastly look on the tall tale telling soldier's face was priceless, as he just realized we were the soldiers he was talking about.
We LOFAO all day....We were all 6 feet 6 inches tall, 200 pounds, bulletproof superheroes and we didn't even know it. LOL
The truth is:
Only 2 of our team are 6 feet 2 inches tall, one is 5 feet 7 inches tall, the rest of us are, +/- an inch, 5 feet 10 inches tall. We weren't bulletproof, we just kept agile and by the grace of GOD, Guardian Angels, prayers and hopes, that bullets wouldn't hit us. Only three members came close to being at or just shy of 200 pounds. The rest of us weighted between 150 to ~175 pounds. And even though his tall tales were somewhat wildly exaggerated, there was some truth in some of them.
