There were the usual chicken and egg, eggs in baskets, slow and steady races, and my story about Uncle John. His helicopter was shot down over enemy territory. He chugged down his flask of whiskey before hitting the ground, and landing in the middle of an enemy camp with nothing but his knife he was able to kill 30 soldiers and capture a hundred more. The moral of that story is that you don't mess with Uncle John when he's been drinking.
The moral of this story is to never believe a Republican.
