Three legged cat goes into a bar, suddenly silence takes over the previous typical drunken bar room atmosphere.
The Cat pulls up a bar stool and the barman collects his courage and makes his way down the long bar,nervously eyeing the hardware this baddass, three legged cat is sporting and as the barroom clears out, the barman asked the Cat "what'll it be?",
The three legged cat looks the barman over with his one good eye, pauses and says, " I am looking for someone and I want him bad. Have you seen the guy that shot my paw?"

There is a long family history of starting out at a young age telling (trying to imitate dad) jokes and my family, having heard the same jokes, over & over never quite getting the words or the timing right
our youngest, well we started assigning numbers to jokes so when the joking and storytelling started, our youngest could say something like...hey, number 6...and we laughed. Now this young man is a quiet professional, out there carrying on in the place his pop use to cover. Not so funny knowing this brave young man lost his dad, his best friend while in the pipeline and it must be hard doing the mission sometimes when just knowing his dad was here, at home no matter where my son finds himself has changed profoundly. I know his dad is somewhere over there watching over him.
This is his 1st deployment without knowing dad was as near as a phone call and the 1st b-day his momma couldn't send him a card or gift or get a call so, son, if you get this remember, I know the finest men in the world are with you there and you are damn good at what you do. I pray you and your team are safe and staying warm and have plenty of ammo. Hugs.
