(That famous day in history the men of the 7th Cavalry went riding on)
(And from the rear a voice was heard)
(A brave you man with a trembling word rang loud and clear)
What am I doin' here??
Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go
Hey, Mr. Custer, please don't make me go
I had a dream last night about the comin' fight
Somebody yelled "attack!”
And there I stood with a arrow in my back.
Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go (forward Ho!!)--aaww
SPOKEN: Look at them bushes out there
They're moving and there's a injun behind every one
Hey, Mr. Custer-you mind if I be excused the rest of the afternoon?
HEY CHARLIE, DUCK YER HEAD!! <sound of arrow whizzing by>
Hmm, you're a little bit late on that one, Charlie
Hooh, I bet that smarts!
(They were sure of victory, the men of the 7th Cavalry, as they rode on)
(But then from the rear a voice was heard)
(That same brave voice with the trembling word rang loud and clear)
What am I doin' here??
Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go
Listen, Mr. Custer, please don't make me go
There's a redskin a'waitin' out there, just fixin to take my hair
A coward I've been called cuz I don't wanna wind up dead or bald
Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go (forward HO)--aaww
SPOKEN: I wonder what the injun word for friend is
Let's see-friend-- kemo sabe, that's it
KEMO SABE!, HEY OUT THERE-KEMO SABE! <sound of arrow whizzing by>
Nope, that itn't it
Look at them durned injuns
They're runnin' around like a bunch of wild Indians-heh, heh, heh
Nah, this ain't no time for jokin'

I love those Stevie Ray Vaughan lyrics.
I actually got to meet him once at a concert in Santa Fe. At the time I was working a second part-time job as a security guard for a company that provided security at the local concerts along with unloading and loading band equipment from the stars 18 wheeler trucks. Stevie Ray had 2 big tractor trailers jam packed full, Santana had 4 trailers full, but that's another story.
After the concert we loaded his band equipment back into his trucks and he was walking around with a box passing out t-shirts and thanking everyone that worked his concert. When he got to me there were no more shirts left in the box, he smiled and then he reached into his back pocket and he pulled out a dirty and sweaty hankercheif and he said here you can have this if you want it. I took it and then shook his hand.
Then all of us security guards got drunk from all of the liquor that we confiscated from concert goers trying to sneak in their bottles. We also divied up the knives that we confiscated from people as we searched them as they were going in.

Hi yellowstone, that doesn't sound like a job at all. What fun!! Memories!! So do you still have the sweaty hanky panky hankie? Or did you sell it on ebay?

Yes it was a fun job when I was young and strong enough to be able to load and unload trucks. I still have the hanky somewhere and I did wash it of course. I didn't want to keep a hanky full of sweat, I don't care who's sweat it was. It may have even had some boogers on it, yuck.

You washed it?? Oh no!! Never tamper with a true collectible. Some things are best left as is. Hahaha, you could have framed it in a shadowbox behind glass, boogers and all.

Hey JACK so Bidsbids has you on ignore, so what. Try looking at it as if it's a badge of honor, Semper Fi.
Edited to add; Maybe Diana@AW will get tired of all of our useless meanderings on the wrong board and hand out badges of honor in the form of temporary posting suspensions rather than just locking the thread. What do you think could it happen?
