    This new breed is the one who calls him an asshole. You try to control 500+ daily. Yall new breed are the assholes. Talking, not listening. No one would yell at you if you listened 1st 3 times.

    Squadron 3711 Flight 1302, Nov. of 1970. No doubt Lester was in the room, and probably had more hair on his head than when I left on Dec. 24th.
