O.K.- So I’m in Columbus Thursday, I go into a convenience store/gas station.
Why is it that EVERY gas station in Mississippi has to have fried chicken for sale???? What is the deal???? And fried chicken is not the only thing that they have… they have fried potato wedges, fried okra, fried corn, fried shrimp, fried EVERYTHING you can imagine. Sounds like Forrest Gump…. you know, “shrimp gumbo, shrimp scampi… etc.” I mean, is it any wonder that we are the fattest state in the union?? I think not!!!
O.K.- So what was so funny about this particular store?? Well, nothing about the store was funny… but there was a guy in there that was funny. See, Columbus is home to Columbus Air Force Base. They do pilot training primarily, I think. Anyway, I go into the bathroom and I get all lined up and this guy comes in. Lines up next to me… he is in his full blown flight suit… I swear I thought he was going to have to strip down to his knees to go to the bathroom… Anyway, so he gets up to the plate and what happens??? Cell phone rings….. and I swear to God….. NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS….. its the Top Gun theme that is serving as his ringer—- you know “forward to the danger zone”.
Unbelievable- I guess goofiness never sleeps.
