Haven't posted in one of these in a long while, over a year I think.

Wanted to share a funny moment in a call I just had with a customer in the UK and trying to schedule a visit in July

UK: "Can we do the week of July 2nd?"
Project Manager: "Actually... that's the week of July 4th, so none of us can make it"
UK: "Bringing up your independence day? Bold move" laughing the entire time
PM: Fumbling through his words "No, no, it's not like that!"
UK: "Just taking the piss mate, does July 16th work?"

I was dying from laughter

Ah yes, Marines. My dad was a Marine, so was daughter Shelby. I remember my brother saying Marines were wound so tight you couldn't pull a needle out of their ass with a tractor. I laughed for 2 days.....I've used that expression a lot ever since.

So (humble brag alert leading to funny exchange)
One of our granddaughters, 14 yrs old, was inducted into the junior national honor society this week. It's based on scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship. Our son posted a video of the event on Facebook. She was wearing a very stylish dress, sleeveless and barely above the knee, that was very complimentary to her slender frame.

I posted a congratulations in the comments, and added in a side note "cute dress!", to which our son replied "Dad did NOT approve the dress". This is the marine captain, and his oldest daughter. I told PapaLew "I'm in trouble now"...and replied to son with "ooops!". DIL replied to both of us with: "Mom did, and bought it for her!"

I love the way my DIL stands up to "Mr I'm a Marine and I'm always right"! :D

When I worked with Brits I took every opportunity to bring it up close to the holiday. "So what are you guys doing tomorrow?"

"Oh what am I doing tomorrow? Just celebrating freedom" while you shotgun a Bud Light and fire a gun into the air.

Last time I was in the UK we had to work on the 4th. When we finally left I told them I was leaving on Tuesday with everyone else but scheduled myself to leave on Wednesday so I could get a chance to go to London.
