Look Ma! I discovered my first double negative!

During the VW, I was picked up off the F4, flight line, We were pulling the infrared mapping system in the middle of the night, when two security guards drove up and asked us what we were doing. Obviously our job, but they insisted I was drunk and took me in, did all the tests, could not prove a thing, then simply said, well I appeared drunk. Anyway, The following day, I was taken by the first shirt to the commander and asked why I was on the flight line. Well I was told to go do a job. Not good enough. I was accused of being drunk, so I ended up saying I did not think that I was drunk enough not to do my job. I used a double negative, and the first shirt kept on asking me, not able to understand what I meant, So, I said, I was sober enough to do my job. And he screamed and asked why I did not say that to begin with. I said I did not know that you could not understand a double negative. Are you calling me stupid! and so I was busted a stripe.

Yea, I guess I was calling him stupid. So I was bused not for being drunk, but for calling the first shirt stupid in a round about way. The way I look at it, if the shop sergeant sent me out on the flight line to do a job, he certainly did not think I was drunk.

I was picked up because the security guards claimed I was hiding behind a light all, I was standing in front of a light which has I do not know how many thousands of watts shining on me, I do not think anybody hides right in front of a light that bright. The light all also gives you the energy you need to power the plane when working on it. Just do not grab the pitot tube as it is electrically heated. So, who was drunk? I never heard of a light all that hid you and the plane you are working on. You know the corporate mind, if you are accused of doing something wholly impossible, it has to be true because an officer of de law says so.
So for people who do not believe in miracles, there you have it. I was fined for performing a miracle.

Hiding in bright light.

Why does Copperfield get the big bucks but I get fined? Because the big guys get to cover their own ass, no matter how absurd, which trumps hiding the Statue of Liberty. So, on that level, they are equal.

Now, the Infra Red mapping system goes into the belly of the F4, almost directly under the pilots seat. I did hear of one taking off and the System, worth quite a bundle of money, fell out of the aircraft onto the runway. No recovery of that one. I wonder if that was because someone was arrested and never had a chance to do his job? I certainly was not around to sign off on the job. Who says God does not give payback?

So, what is the point of sobriety testing when you pass all the tests, and they get to say, well fuck it, he appeared to be drunk. What the fuck does that mean? Anyway. The Brass had to claim I was drunk, contradicting the report. So, I hold, they owe me a stripe, back pay, and over 50 years of interest.
