You're gonna love this one!

First a little background.

I work for a company that makes high voltage power systems for materials research. The systems sell for anywhere between 20K to 80K.

Part of the system is a high voltage AC to DC front end supply, and we buy them for 4K to 10K. A new company has been trying to compete for the business. So they they flew in their salesman and his boss today for a meeting with me.

The salesmen was obviously in his late fifties, and his boss was just a kid wearing a tie!

They had a good presentation, and I was interested. Then they decided it was worth taking me out to lunch.

"Let me get my hat" I said.

So I grabbed my Stetson, the one with a miniature CIB on the crown.

The sales guy looked at the CIB and said "Were you in the Army, that pin on your hat looks familiar."

"Yeah" I said, "It's a CIB. Did you serve too?"

(Now, I have to add something here before I tell the rest of the story. I may be 61 years old, but I am still 165 lbs, have a full head of black hair with no grey hair, and a lot of people don't think I am as old as I am. I am not boasting, I think it had to do with my Dad and his Navajo genes.)

So.....this fat fucking, grey-haired salesman says to me...."Yeah, I was an Airborne Ranger In Vietnam! But I really don't like to talk about it!

"Really?" I asked, "Who did you serve with in Vietnam as an Airborne Ranger?"

As soon as I asked the question he hesitated......

"Ah....I was with the 13th Airborne Rangers....in Vietnam." he said.

So I asked him....."Really, I never heard of them, where in Vietnam were you?"

The look on his face was priceless. I couldn't help myself........(And no VB, I didn't punch him, much as I wanted too!)

I just looked at him and said, "Let's skip lunch, because I don't need any more bullshit today!"

And I looked the fucker in the eyes.......and he knew where the fuck I was coming from!

I wonder how he explained that meeting to his tie wearing boss!

[testedone]

Nice...very nice...

[Skysoldier]

I am used to salesman who are bullshitters........but this was too much!

13th Airborne Rangers, that is right after the 12th Airborne Rangers.

[Falschirmjaeger]

I think he meant he was looking for a 13th Airborne Ranger to beat his ass.

[Skysoldier]

You should have seen the look on the young guy's face when I used the word "Bullshit"

That was also priceless..

Unbelievable. Especially the part about having no grey hair because of some jeans your Dad wore.

If you're gonna lie, you should always make up something really good, like your service with the 320-Eleventh Night Jackers in Wannabe, S. Iberia or the 4-oh-69th Urban Combat Assault Brigade in Fuquoff, New Guinea.

...like your service with the 320-Eleventh Night Jackers in Wannabe, S. Iberia or the 4-oh-69th Urban Combat Assault Brigade in Fuquoff, New Guinea.

And yet another OPSEC violation out of you. Now we've got to disband the whole friggin brigade....

[Recon133]

The 13th Airborne Rangers were formed when they combined the 6th and 7th Airborne Rangers. Hell everyone knows that.

Unbelievable. Especially the part about having no grey hair because of some jeans your Dad wore.

The word was genes.....not jeans...you fucking dumbass!

Normally, I would let a dumfuck insult like this slide by!

But don't make ever make fun of my GENES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, I lived in Pleasant Valley back in 1960...(519 North 31st Street). We spent our summers at the Garden of the Gods, eating bologna sandwiches and climbing Cathedral Rock!

That was 6th Airborne and 7th Rangers, genius. Pick up a friggin history book once in a while. Sheesh.

This story just won't end!

My Boss came to me this morning..."Kim. did you meet with the sales guy's from (X) the other day?"

"Yeah, I did, why?"

"Well, I got this call from their regional sales manager this morning. He was apologizing, and said something about you and their salesguy no getting along the other day, and he wanted to resolve the problem and set up another appointment to clear things up. What happened?"

(My boss is a college kid, originally from Lebanon. He has no idea what it means to serve in the Military, much less know about the Military mindset, and how much we hate posers.)

As much as I wanted to scream....I decided to use my loud voice instead. (Hey get's scared when I raise my voice!)

"Yeah......I met with that piece of shit the other day! If you want to deal with this company, then go ahead.......but keep me out of it! The sales guy is a liar....and I can't deal with a salesman that is a fucking liar!

My boss looked at me and decided to drop the subject.

They will all drop the subject.

But that fucker will never forget me....cause I know I puckered his ass up at work!

Sky, you should've gotten a free lunch out of this POS poser before leaving Bro; but I understand your leaving the table after he tried to lie like that.

People describe themselves as rangers, infantry, lrp, paratroopers or unit nick names like falcons or devils. No one calls himself an airborne ranger.
