(29,173 posts)He was marking time waiting to start his briefing. I had just finished mine and was fiddling with the slide projector which had, as usual, jammed again. He hears my sulferous mutterings and said, "Can I help you with that; I've fixed it before."
"Sure. Appreciate it." He pulls out a Swiss Army Knife that had everything but a chain saw and starts on the pos. I check him out, not bad at all. He's checking me out and I pass inspection.
"You wouldn't happen to have the specs for this thing?"
"Nah. Probably got lost around about the time of Granicus."
"Looks more like the model used at Pharsalia."
*Ping and double thought balloon. S/he knows history. Yes.
He finishes with pos. "Should work now, for awhile anyway." It did. A couple of beats. "Would you like to see The Lion in Winter? It's on at the Retro."
"Sure."
