SSgt "Grin" Greinailko: "You know, if I had another set of eyes in the back of my head, I wouldn't need your sorry ass!"

GSgt "JC" Suankhularb: "C'mon, admit it. Without me, you'd still be an E-2 Supply puke packing gear for REAL warriors. Besides, in anatomico-utility terms, eyes facing backwards are only for pussy prey, not priapic predators like us!"

Grin: "I hate it when you get all scientificky on me. What the Hell is 'anatomico-utility'?"

JC: "A word I just made up. You like it? It describes the purpose of different body parts. Some body parts are 'vestigial', meaning they are a leftover from the past with no real purpose today. An example of this is the human spleen. Comprende, amigo?

Grin: "I get it. Eyes backward for prey, eyes forward for predators. And an example of a human vestigial organ is your f*ckin' brain! Hehehe!"

JC: "Aw that's so cute! You're trying to sound smart. Be careful. Too much thinking'll make YOUR brain shit the bed!"

Grin: "F*ck you, man."

JC: "I love you too, buddy. Let's go kill us some...uhm, I mean, 'reconnoiter, report and respond' as per ISOC reg umpty-ump, ok?"

Grin: "Can you say that again? I didn't hear you. I was too busy looking behind us. Lol!"

JC: "F*ckin' ssshole."

Grin: "I love you too..."

Submitted for your amusement.

May you and yours be well and loving life today.
