Ok, I wasn't going to open that can of worms about the girls, and yes I must have bought several thousand gallons of "TEA". They could drink more tea than a thirsty camel.
Do you remember the whiskey from Thailand, Running Deer or something like that. We called it "Lame Deer". Guess why?
I seen 33 Beer advertised somewhere not too long ago. Ba MUI Ba. When I flew we were issued 2 plastic bottles that fit in a flight suit real nice. During off duty times they served as flasks for soirees to town.
I made the mistake one night of putting them in my flight suit before a mission. I forgot I hadn'r rinsed them out and refilled with water before we took off. Our NOS, Night Observation Sight Operator asked if I had any extra water and I said ya, reached in my pocket and handed him a flask. He took a big gulp and about died. It was full of Ron Rico 100 Proof. Boy did he chew my A$$ out. He was a Major. I always insured after I carried water and only water after that.
One other thing, I never ever once had anything stolen from me "by THE GIRLS". And never had one I had to chew my arm off either. My vision must have been quite remarkable when I was bombed.
Best wishes, Bill
