next time you see your nephew, slap him upside the head for me. Wait. Where in CA does he live? Maybe I'll slap him myself.

Scamp: Yep. Over the years I've seen several bikers with a mix 'n match bunch of badges and insignias on their jackets. Years ago ['76] ran into one wearing an 82nd patch and CIB drinking with his buddies in a bar in Whitefish, MT. Said he'd been in Nam with them in '67 [we got there FEB68]. I just grinned and asked him who he was with. He just said "the 82nd." I said, "I know, but what PIR?" He just gave me a blank look, and mumbled something about forgetting alot of things. I said, "You're a f-ckin' liar and if you want, we can step outside and you can try to change my mind about you." He, or his buddies, didn't budge. I took my beer and moved to the far end of the bar with the two other loggers I came in with. They gulped their beers about as fast as they could, and left with half a pitcher still sitting there. The bartender asked me how I knew he was a fake, and I told him my background. He laughed and got us about three-fourths drunk for free before we convinced him we had to go. After that, I could never pay for a beer there if he was behind the bar :cl: .
