  1. I have a German buddy from waaay back, and in the eighties, his ex-GF’s brother, who was 17, somehow got the money and passport to fly from Cologne to LA, where he got himself in a bad way, as would be expected of a pasty little piece of eurotrash. My friend went to LA and brought him back to Atlanta, where he asked if the punk could stay with me for a month until they could get him back to Germany. I was living in a house with four roommates(and band mates) and they said he could stay.

    We had one phone on a thirty foot cord for the whole house, and this asshole ran up a $700 phone bill talking to his punk German friends while we slept. My German friend paid his bill, though, and sent young Frick back home. As soon as he turned eighteen, young Frick began his compulsory military service in the wehrmacht, became a tank driver, and turned his base into kindling with his tank. Those darned kids. Space and time make no difference at all.

  2. In the fire service there is what is called a fire break dozer.
    They are a small dozer with a cage around the operator’s seat and a plow in back to throw a trench for a fire break.
    The fire service had come to show this to a Boy Scout Jamboree, not a big one but a bunch of scouts none the less. Yep, it got hijacked and ran about a mile through woods before they could catch up.
    Not all scouts were angels.
