   When my son was small, he threw a tantrum in a nice restaurant. When he wouldn’t stop, I picked him up and walked to the exit. When I got there, he stopped screaming and said, “OK, I’ll be good.” “Too late,” I said, and walked out the door. Behind me, the restaurant bust into applause.

   I mostly wash all the dishes around here. (Spouse is a gourmet cook. I am a gourmet dishwasher.) We have a thick rubber pad that does in front of the sink, counter, or stove as needed, but I don’t use it. I slip it to the side and sit on a stool instead.

    When I was an underclassman in USAF OTS, we were lined up outside the barracks in our blues to march to breakfast. A bird in the tree above me shat, dropping excrement on the bill of my hat, from which it bounced to my coat, and finally onto my spit shined shoe.I said, “Sir! Officer Trainee T______ requests permission to return to the barracks.”Our flight commander, an upperclassman, asked, “Why Does OT T_______ want to return to the barracks?”“Bird shit on me, sir!”Permission granted, so I returned to the barracks, stuffed my uniform into my laundry bag, put my shoes in my panic box (A drawer they were not allowed to inspect), and put on my other uniform, a 1505 tan uniform with a flight cap.All day long, I got gigged for being out of uniform. My explanation that a bird had shat on me did not get me any sympathy.
