which left us both in stitches.
About the time I turned 65 one of the guys asked me why I didn't retire.
"Because the office made me an offer I can't refuse after they heard i was going to write aa book exposing the entire industry," I replied. "I got a pretty good raise and they saaid that I could work as long as I wanted and when I could no longer work they'd pension me at 3/4 pay for life so long as I don't write it."
"Really?" he asked.
"Absolutely," I replied and knew that line of crap would go through the fleet like a dose of salts. It did and got back to me a couple of times and needless to say I said it was true even though a couple of guys asked their various supervisors who said it wasn't true.
Anyway, he reminded me of it and we shared a laugh.
Then he grew serious and told me I ought to write a book about my career.
While most of it has been fairly stable and (somewhat) professional it has had its moments.
I'm thinking it over but probably won't hecause I don't want to lose my 3/4 pay pension. ;)
