He gets out, this big guy, with a hand full of trash. I politely step back from the trash/ashtray and he stops and says, "Don't I know you?"
I say, "Dunno?"
He says, "Weren't you in the Air Force?"
*boom*
He and I partied years ago in Lakenheath RAF in England. He was a radar operator stationed out of Spain at the time, I was a clumsy biomed in a mobility clinic doing my rounds.
Small friggin' world.
And nobody ratted you out for smoking a cigarette in public?!?!?
It is, indeed , a small world.
