I'm an ass man...

I think thats a theme song for a wrestler...could be wrong tho. Anyway I'll get to my point.
My brother Brad is serving in Iraq for the Army. He's been in the Army since he stepped out of high school in 87'. He is serving his third term in Iraq and he has also been in the Gulf war. Needless to say he's a Veteran of our wonderful country. His duty in Iraq is fueling airplanes and ground vehicles on a makeshift airport. Last time I talked to him he built a tower for the guys working with his crew.

My Mom just called me and told me that he was given a new title for his job. And just keep in mind that to make things easier (or secretive?) the Army used abreveations for everything. ie: pt = personal training and ssg = staff sargent. Anyway, back to his new title... Airfield Service Supervisor otherwise known as ASS.

Aparently the guys he works with are really on him about this. They try to work ASS into every conversation. Like two guys will be discussing something and the one guy will say "I'm not sure, you will have to ask my ASS." So again needless to say my brother Brad is the Butt of the joke. Yes, pun intended.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he is in on it too. Brad always makes me laugh. He will go on and on about something and then you realise that it is totally false and he was just seeing how much you would believe. He knows my Mom is very gulibleso he really yanks her chain. He is always joking around. The last time he was down in July 05' He was fishing with the kids out back at my Moms house and he comes running in with a fish hook hanging out of his mouth and yelling for help. Yep it was a joke.

Hey I just thought of something maybe he was just yanking Moms chain again. Who cares anyway, its funny as all get out! I can't wait for a call from Brad. I miss him terribly.
