You were a Shooting Star pilot?
I have met a LOT of folks from the USAF and most of them did NOT fly, but everyone always assumes that they do. That's probably their biggest pet peeve. Not everyone can be a zoomie. Some have to be wingnuts, and keep 'em flying
I was in the Air Police and whenever I answered a civilian when questioned on what I did in the AF, they would say, well, you're big enough to be an Air Policeman. NO brains needed I guess. Of course the next question was, do you fly to which I replied, "We direct the air traffic up there." And we wonder why military spending by congress is always being cut!

I love it when a highly trained "news reader" gushes about a "tank" at the sight of any self propelled and armed vehicle.
"And in other news, government "tanks" rolled through the area!"
(I guess most of them (male and female) were playing Barbie rather than putting together models when they were kids.)

Remembered a few more:
"What is your PIN number?". Oh, you mean my personal identification number number?
(Same thing for your cars VIN).
"Think I'll go to the ATM machine". Guess that would be the automatic teller machine machine.
I really need more coffee. This is starting to bother me.

Could not agree more, thank you. Bad grammar is probably my biggest pet peeve.

Get over it, you will live longer and happier. Stress kills.
Following a negative event, those concerned are always "...moving forward.." As opposed to what? Moving backwards?
Then there are always those who are "seeking closure".

As for finding closure on some things, my daughter has given me some advice.
"Cry me a river, build me a bridge and get over it!"

I used to get a kick on the job listening to some guys with the roughest talk you can imagine get on the radio and talk very "professional". Every time you see some police spokesman talking to a newsman I think them phoney. Thats probley part of the reason I can relate with sheriff Joe.

My wife noted that the older I get the more things (just random stuff) just piss me off. I wonder if there's a pill I can take for that 
They are not reporters, just news readers. Being such they don't bother to go out of their way to research any information behind the story. The read what is on the teleprompter and don't care if it is right or wrong.

Welcome to the world of being a CURMUDGEON! The old you get, the less tolerate you become of the younger ones who know it all. The only pill which I know will cure the problem is called cyanide!

I'm confused now. I read all of the above. The one about ice cream was good.
Yes, there actually is. I take them all the time. Oh, do you mean a pill to make you get pissed off LESS? I'm not so sure about that.My wife noted that the older I get the more things (just random stuff) just piss me off. I wonder if there's a pill I can take for that
