My wife and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, "Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug."
She got up, unplugged the TV and threw out all of my beer!
"Live every day as if it were your last, because one of these days, it will be."
– Jeremy Schwartz
When I was stationed at Myrtle Beach, S.C., I spent my spare time fishing in the backwaters of the Intracoastal Waterway. Soon I became a guide of sorts for some senior non-commissioned officers.
Once, a chief master sergeant hooked a 20-pound striped bass. After he reeled the fish onto the boat, he slipped the hook out of its mouth and released it back into the water.
He must have noticed the puzzled look on my face.
"Rank does have its privileges. I can't keep a fish that has more stripes than I do," he explained.
"When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained."
- Mark Twain
