Irony

For most of my government sponsored vacation, my favorite job was to be a gun truck commander. The gun trucks are usually small vehicles with a crew served weapon whose purpose is to protect the unarmed cargo trucks. Because of my position in the Co, I rarely got to do this job, and almost always ended up as the cargo or fuel truck commander. I transfered to another section a few months ago and will no longer be on the road. Last week I signed for my own gun truck. I have the truck, but no crew, weapon or mission.

When we got here last year, it seems that we missed the flies. Not so this year. April must be the month for them. There are only a few of them so far, but I'm sure that they are just scouts for the coming plague. They are much more fearless and persistent than American flies.
