Otherwise,
During Desert Storm, after about 12 days in isolation (no kidding) followed by 48 hrs in the hole, the 4 man team had been compromised and subsequently ex-filled from the SR mission and returned to KKMC for debriefing. The atmosphere was tense; everybody was tired and smelly and anxious to get out of there when a serious looking LTC walks in. He gives us a quick breakdown on how the debriefing would commence and asks, "OK, who wants to start"?

We're all kinda sitting there waiting for someone to start; you could hear a pin drop. Suddenly, our medic stands up and very seriously looks around at all of us, then looks at the LTC, and says....

"A mushroom walks into the bar. Bartender sees him and says, "Hey You, we don't allow your type in here!!! Mushroom says, "Why not, I'm a fungi".........

It got real quiet for a very long minute.......until finally, the LTC started to bust a gut.

Best medic (and man) I ever worked with.....
