While we're talking about Arrival and Departure a little digression

I digress a little but all this, has brought back a memory from 40+ years ago

Like many Young officers (That thought, we knew it all) I had more, than my fair share, of Cock-up days.

During one of those periods, when days turned into weeks, My Gp Capt (Group Captain) called my Sqn Ldr( Squadron Leader) to arrange my presence, ASAP
Pooing bricks, like you do, off I went. Flt Lt (Flight lieutenant) can I Thank You, for attending Duty today. I know, you have had a trying, Period.. hmmmm Thank you Sir, I say but he continues, given the last reports I have on my Desk here, can I just say Flt Lt, another Thank You, for Going Home after your Duty today!

Some Senior Officers, had No sense of humour

 

There IS a Car Yard here in Brisbane; "Mike Hunt Used Cars"... Now; a mix of name plus used Car Salesman... C'monnnn....

Sooo, a mate of mine buys a Car from there and wanted me to drive their other Car back and follow him, I was snickering my @ss off at "Mike Hunt" signs everywhere when a Salesman asked if he could help me? I laughed and told him what a GREAT Gimmick it was to incorporate "Mike Hunt" in with Used Car Salesman and how surely it had to boost Business with a gag like that? He then nodded over to the corner where a well dressed guy was sitting facing his Computer, he said; "Meet Mr Hunt" :( Mr Hunt nodded and acknowledged me, I silently slipped out the door and waited in the Car on the Footpath until my mate was done... hehe

AND; just in case you doubt my word :o Toinks!

We stopped there (looks exactly the same) I think in Dauin, outside (I think) a School which is opposite where they sell Fruit Fish and Veggies, it's on the right hand side going to Duma, and big my @ss! A Macca's kids Cheeseburger is bigger! :D lol

 

My ex-Brother In-law here (may he RIP) was high up in the Chrome Plate/ Powder Coating Business side of things when a Millionaire flew into town, his name was Wayne Kerr, but that isn't the funny part, he met Davo at work and got talking to him about ideas, then offered to carry on the conversation later in the week at some swish place in Brisbane. The next day Wayne Kerr turns up with a shirt for Davo to wear, his sister and I pissed ourselves and told him that Wayne is GAY! :D Dave was huh? Nooooooo... :(

Come Friday, Davo goes to meet Wayne Kerr in Brissy, wearing the spiffy new Shirt Wayne had bought for him, YES It was mostly PINK!) and they chatted the night away, many ales followed washing down expensive Seafood, then at the end of the night, Wayne bunged it on Davo to come back to his pad to continue the conversation and knock back some more ales! :D Pmsl!!

Poor old Davo still couldn't see the signs, until back at the pad, Wayne tried to slip the tongue in on Davo! :D LOLOL

I have never forgotten Wayne Kerr! :D hehe
Davo talked his way out of it that night, and again during the week when Wayne turned up at Davo's work and offered him the deal of a lifetime, one last chance, all Davo had to do was be his b*tch and be there when he flew in from his meetings around the Country and abroad...

For those of you hoping for a Happy outcome, Davo declined his offer. :p I will leave it up to you to determine if that was a happy or sad ending... But; Wayne Kerr... Get outta here! He must have put his mother thru HELL when he was born!! hehe
