Sorry your day sucked, we all have em. Your mention of the B-17 compelled me to post that my Granddad in law whom we buried at Crown Hill with a military style service this week was a turret gunner in a B-17 bomber. I cannot imagine a job with a greater butt pucker ratio. He was a great man and fought like hell to the end (toughest S.O.B. i've ever met). Anyway thanks to all those tough bastards who gave us what we have and expect nothing in return..........oh yeah "Minty" sounds kind of fruity to me too.
