A quote came to mind
Ever notice that no one notices when one is being provoked, it’s only then when the retaliation begins is when they notice a 2-cent tax isn’t a good idea
as in this example

Being a stickler about receipts, I haven’t gone through them yet for a total, be for sale or a rental, much to do yet, the term “American dream” came to mind with added observations.
Enough of that, switching gears
Veterans and good friends, what sets them apart from everyone else…. well, they’ll talk shit to your face, then say really nice things behind your back.

Well being from the Men’s department of the Navy, of course I got something to say, D-day plus some more, a story came to mind, a commendation for original thinkin, a line from the film Battleship.
“what’s the captain doing now?”.
He’s gone crazy again
About a 4-minute story, worthy of your time and smile
