Re: Lincoln:Emancipator or Not?

Chewing tobacco???? What a nasty habit!!!!!!!!LOL One bit of info on nasty habits and then I stop!!! As a young PFC in a hole at night on LP I had the misfortune to be paired with a smoker! This guy was as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs! About 0200 he decided he was gonna light up. In the dark, on an LP, 200 meters out beyond the perimeter wire, with Victor Charlie lurking about! I quickly disabused him of this urge by sticking a Model 10 S&W in his mouth with the following statement... " go ahead, light up, and I'll cure this habit of yours"... the nervous young man didn't light up but the next day my 1st Sgt. called me to task for threatening this guy, who had went straight to the Topkick with the incident. When asked if this happened and I said yes and I meant every word, the Top told me I couldn't go around threatening my fellow Marines with bodily harm!! I replied that the dinks might get me but no nervous grunt was gonna help them. To sum it up, the 4 holers needed burning and I was on the top's the S*** list over the incident so guess who burned them????LOL After that though, I was never paired with a nervous guy again...LOL...Have a good day...
