Several years ago, when I had semis, a Dot officer pulled me over for a safety inspection. After showing him my license log book etc., he asked me what I had in the trailer. I told him I had a load of sailboat fuel. From the expression on his face, I don't think he saw the humor in the answer.

When I showed up at my first job in the Air Force as a lowly one-striper, our shop foreman decided to have some fun with me. He told me we needed a gallon of prop wash. I asked where to get it, and he said to check all the flight line maintenance shops. I'm from a military family and had heard all the stories. I went back to the dorm and slept most of the day away . . . headed back right about quitting time, and when the TSgt saw me, he bellowed at me, asking where the hell I'd been , all day. I told him that there was, apparently, a real shortage of prop wash . . . every shop I went to sent me to another, and finally, one guy told me to wait while he mixed some . . . but he never came back. The guy was skeptical . . . I think he knew he'd been had, but what could he do . . . he was the one who sent me after it!
They sent me away once to get some oil stiffener. They said the oil was too slippery and they needed to stiffen it. I came back about 1 1/2 hours later with a bag of cement and two gallons of water. They bought me beers that night!I did did almost the same thing as a unit armorer except it was for a quart of recoil oil. I did find a quart of recoil cylinder oil but he said it was the wrong stuff...
Isn't flightline the same stuff my kids used to make craft bracelets out of? They called it fiightline and paracord?Go to the cable shop and get us 50 yards of flightline...
