You get now it's time for another story from our regular listener and contributor Roger Latham in Fort Worth, Texas, Nicholas John Steinbeck once wrote that Texas is a state of mind can't understand the words are warm and were with 100% in the story of shallot individual in my 5'9" tall, 150 pounds or what much of attraction, but I was 1967 actually not so charming and later, after my joining basic training I was sent to casework Air Force Base to undergo air traffic control training are successfully gone through most of that until the very very and I was on the lunch line 1.1 overheard another friend of mine from Texas Ln., Lewis was talking to another private about a situation Jackson. I don't know why my shelter for second, why don't you just slap upside the head explained to him about why you said may use such like to file killed said well don't get killed. Only and that's what his bully flap.

I will just humiliate smaller individuals in your smaller individual five so private submissions will want to go over slap yourself your shutoff and I said well I can only shallot see no reason to go start something is not my style but Lewis Cheryl Shaw about the time we went to lunch.

Landon Jackson, born 6 foot to 220 pounds standing next to me and I told her you're trying to find with the Lewis over there under psychotic digital warning show warning. What are you talking about whether something about them you don't know what will is from Texas is so big about that as well.

You're not well he saw my comment on that patient that he knows much about. It also allowed from Texas to push me real hard not pushing back in, we split off and went one way and I went together and went to lunch line and then later in the evening he went to better and I will. I was very affectionate on the bed so I went back to the barracks and took a shower was started by my locker and miscarriage this big guy Jackson will make having finishes better and he gave me a real hard look. Well, I reciprocated in kind. You look at mass as well. I guess I'm looking at you said you think you're so tough when we step outside teach me all about taxes and I said well I can't right now all Havel's misgivings, I should we go upstairs, you will scuffle should go upstairs so we climbed the stairs in the old army style barracks, all the rest of the crew soldiers of herb that followed us. He squared off and I swear often, and he punched me in my me down pretty hard and so but I jumped up and squared off Dannon I threw a punch list that made my me down again. I jumped off the compound. I'm determined and I'm a little back at him and he hit me again.

My me down this time, stunned, and I'm I'm gonna shut up a little bit in and I notice his 2 feet were only the side of me and I glanced up and he had his hands draw back like you've got it in face while I was down so I darted between his legs and popped up on the other side and turned around facing when he turned around to face me. The most beautiful care ever kicked my kicking right in the testosterone generators and he fell on top of. He said in a very odd way and a kind of a gasping way you work with and I said hello adequately you started to quit his so I crawled out from under him and I'm walking back downstairs and all the rest is sold as a patent back saying way to go. Life is been picked on all of us and straighten them out. We went downstairs and the big boy had to go take a shower and I lay down my block. I'm going to buy and the latter for the turnout this big boy Jackson's walking by million real loud so everybody can hear.

He says now Latham would like to put a picture here around the bulletin board tomorrow and I said, an equally loud tone. Yeah, we could put next to picture your testosterone generators are all flattened out now and the whole barracks busted out in laughter. I mean it was hook. It was like I was doing a standup retainer never bite left it. He was slinked off in the shower went to bed and never heard from again. He never wanted to fight again.

Well, that was the end of that story except henceforth and forever always thought about the fact that every time because bully is always a bully, bully is a state of mind just like Texas.

In spite of my occasional pick on somebody else. But I guarantee you some time and some air traffic control tower based on the Pulliam somebody else. But before he does is going to say to an individual are you from Texas because a few years he's gonna leave them alone.
