An Anecdote and a Song
The Anecdote
This always slays me.
On one of his deployments to Thailand, Stodgy set up shop at the Carousel Bar in Bankok. On an eventful night, a working lady confronted a German Tourist Patron on an "unpayed debt". He eventually became violent with her and Stodgy and a fellow Marine ejected, rather roughly, the patron, to the thanks of the working girls, bar staff and Thai police waiting outside, as he was a rather beefy guy. From that point on, Stodgy was the darling of all the working girls. He never got out his baht gun and purchased the physical pleasures of the establishment, but they regarded him as their favorite G.I. for the duration of the deployment. On one evening, the working lady from said incident, nudged Stodgy, giggling, and said to him "See dat G.I.? He say I have very pretty smile!" (More giggling.) Stodgy replied "So? I don't get it." "He say I have very pretty smile!" (More giggling.) "I still don't get it." "You don't understand. He say I have very pretty smile!" At this point she pushed her upper dentures out and exposed them for Stodgy.
The Song
This one is for Stodgy and Linus:
Barkeep, Another Mekong please.
Yes of course, you can keep the change.
A new glass here for this new friend of mine, Forgive me, I forgot your name.
Flip a coin, What shall we talk about?
Heads I tell the truth, Tails I lie.
I came all the way From Taipai today.
Now Bangkok's pouring rain and I'm going blind again And I ain't seen my girl in fifteen thousand miles.
Is it true It's always happy hour here?
If it is I'd like to stay a while, And as cliche as it sounds I'd like to raise another round And if your bottle's empty Help yourself to mine.
Thank you for your time. And here's to life.
Barkeep, We need to go around again.
One for me and what's his name, My new best friend.
Deal me in, And I'll pick my cards up off the floor.
I'll see my lucky coin, And raise a pack of lies.
Smile to the girl at the door, Another 4 dollar whore, But don't look her in the eyes, She'll break your heart.
We came all the way From Taipai today.
Now Bangkok's pissin' rain and we're going blind again And I ain't seen my girl in fifteen thousand miles.
Is it true It's always happy hour here?
If it is I'd like to stay a while, And as cliche as it sounds, I'd like to raise another round And if your bottle's empty Help yourself to mine.
Thank you for your time, And here's to life.
