Gooooooood morning Vietnaaaaaaaaaaaaaam!

I was just sent this by my old friend Adrian Cronauer. I don't know where he got it, but he hasn't lost his sense of humor.
It's pretty good....................




I went fishing this morning, but after a short time I ran out of worms. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a cottonmouth with a frog in his mouth. "Frogs are good bass bait" I thought to myself.



Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth, I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog, and put it in my bait bucket.

Just then, I realized I had a problem, how was I going to release the snake without getting bitten? So, I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth. The snakes eyes rolled back and he went limp. I released him into the lake without incident and carried on fishing using the frog.

A little later, I felt a nudge at my foot. There was that same snake with two more frogs in his mouth.

Life is good in the South.

Your friend has most definitely not lost his sense of humor!

Adrian says that if he had done half the things the Robin Williams version of him had done in the film, he would have finished his military career in Leavenworth instead of Washington.

It makes you wonder how many other films based on recent history are complete fabrications compared to what really happened.
