I remember being around 10 years old, and my dad and I were at the local grocery store in the canned food aisle. There was a woman sifting through the canned goods when my dad said to her, “You know, I’m built like a can of corn; I won’t hit bottom, but I will scrape the sides a little.”
Sorry for the late update but these YWNs now are crazy. I started off my speech by showing them a video a buddy made (had to have the sound down because the song playing in the background Gorilla Zoe: Helluvalife was inappropriate for a pvt Christian school) then I told them that they could ask whatever they wanted. So I started getting all the usual questions, then they got real interested in how MREs changed over the time I was in and then….this YWN stands up and asks a question that just stunlocks me. Now I’m no stranger to crazy questions I used to do Stupid Private Question Hour as a Drill sergeant. But this YWN asks me “what was the greatest advancement I saw in the infantry over my years and deployments?” My brain short circuited do I talk about NODs? Optics? Tactics? Instead I said “Theatrical release of Tropic Thunder, next question”
