Reply #13: I stopped in Norman for Two Days [View All]

[true_notes]

For a meteorlogical convention. I then turned to one of my buddies that is working their under contract from the Navy, and I asked him, how do you take it here? He said quote...

"Read the Bible, Missionary, and don't get caught at the beer joint."

Enough said, I'll be leaving now. So I went to get in my car and I noticed I was low on gas. So I pulled into a little BP on the outskirts of "Normal" and the clerk said "that'll be 30 bux, by tha way, where you from boy?" Well sir I'm from Tennessee, I replied, but i'm in the Navy." The guy jumped out of his seat and saluted me, and said "God is by my side." I replied, "I'm Buddhist, so more than likely he isn't". I got a stare to kill, and I eased out with no words said.

That's my Okiehoma experience.
