The bison makes his way into his new home. If you look closely-not that close, but kinda close, you will notice that I too have "buns". I was called on this mission in late June. I lost 17 pounds since then. Obviously, they did not get my memo about ordering me a new, tighter, stretchier, and bun enhancing flight suit. I am also wondering where I am suppposed to put my legs.1. When the G-forces begin: Clench my lower body, hold my breath and say hicks, hicks, hicks. I sounded like Darth Vader with a lisp.
2. Find out where the white barf bags are.
Again, I am not Amy Tomlinson. I am the Bison. Here I am smugly looking out the window at Jeri giving her my "Man I am the Man" look. This is also look I give her when I don't understand what she wants. It is a very versatile look. I also found where the barf bags were located, so this may have something to do with my smugness.
Here I am getting ready to taxi down the runway. I am the pilot in the back.I still have that look on my face. That look at this point is my "Man I think I am still the Man" look. I would be gone for 30 minutes. We, I mean he, put me in at least 10 manuevers (from 4 Gs to 8 Gs). We, I mean he, got us up to .89 MACH. We, I mean me, threw up enough times to fill up two small garbage bags.
I made it! I am the Man. Or is it Man-Bison?Please notice the fliers around my plane. The maintenance worker with his head in the cockpit has noticed a very perculiar smell. The man under the wing has noticed that smell too and is trying to ram his head into the engine intake. Even Baxter noticed the odor.
The testerone that I emitted in that plane caused all these burly men to question their own virulity. I, as the Bison, marked my territory. I am the man!!

After Baxter showered and freshened up, he came to pose with me. This is the picture that I received after the flight. I was unable to freshen up because I had to revive the fallen crew. (More importantly, I couldn't get my flightsuit off because of the "odor residue")

Here is Jeri shamelessly giving Baxter her phone number. For some reason, she put her phone number on one of my shirts.


What an awesome experience! Don't worry about the puking, there aren't too many people who can say they got to take a ride in a "Blue Angel". Audrey will be so jealous, she went on Friday and got a poster of the Blue Angels, but didn't see them fly.
ReplyDeleteGregg, you are hillarious. I love how Jeri got that guys phone number on one of your shirts...classic! hahahahha
ReplyDeleteMwah ha ha ha ha! I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Greg, I think you missed your calling as a stand-up comic. Thanks for the great laugh, oh mighty Bison!
ReplyDeleteLoved your version of the story, Gregg. What a great experience. We are still laughing.
ReplyDeleteYou are the man Gregg, I mean the BISON!! How funny was that narrative - I was laughing so hard at work I started to cry!! What a once in a lifetime experience though - way to grab at those opportunities in life.
