Another day, another dollar. Oh, wait. They don't pay me for this gig. But they should. That's how good I am.

Top Ten from Sunday nights exploits:

10. Double shift for yours truly. That's seven hours, ladies and gents. Of standing. Seven. Hours.

9. Tonight I got an education on army rank patches. Something about silver being black and gold being brown. Or maybe it was bronze being brown. Not sure. Probably I should have taken notes.

8. Soldier with totally rockin' tan boots. Another soldier actually beat me to commenting. How sad was I?

7. Cutest little boy in the world comes in with his Daddy. Ms. V says, "You are so beautiful!" To which little Mr. Handsome replies, "Do you mean handsome? Boys can't be beautiful." Shocked, stunned silence followed before hilarity ensued.

6. I confessed to Navy guy that I hadn't actually sampled the sandwhiches which I constantly rave about to the poor souls that ask me what's the best. I did this in confidence. See #2 for why that's a bad idea.

5. When Navy guys says something about push ups I told him to drop and give me twenty. He said they only do that in training. I said well they do it all the time in movies. To which he just laughed. I then told him to "Push Em Out" and I thought he was going to die.

4. Tonight I have revised my previous comments about the beauty of the Marine Corps. Navy was hands down the winner tonight.

3. A cute young soldier girl stopped in close to closing and the ladies at the front hooked her up with a room for the night and we took her to the bar to pack a bag of goodies. When she asked how much she owed us we all replied, it's free everything here is for you guys. She broke down and started crying. Which of course made me cry. Damn it to hell.

2. Okay, so I learned not to share secret with mischievous Navy guys. As mentioned in #6 I shared a secret about not eating the sandwiches not because they aren't tasty but I feel bad eating what is meant for them. Enter young soldier. I say, "The Spicy Chicken is good." Navy guy looks me dead in the eye and says, "Or so she hears." Oh no you did not just FRONT ME OUT!!! I banned him from the bar but he didn't budge instead explained to me and the young soldier that he just wanted to see if he could make me blush. I really wanted to be mad but instead I just laughed. He offered to do push-ups and we made peace. ;-)

1. Young soldier (FYI - Soldier = anyone in uniform. Could be an airline pilot for all I know, they all look the same to me) gives us his name patch for the board. Last name 'DYKE', he even makes jokes about it himself. I say later to the ladies as we pinned it to the board, "This is the only patch up there that I know what it means!"

It was another great night, but I hope working 4th shift is something I only get to do every three years. My legs are killing me. And I'm tired. Like I worked a real job today or something.

I do want to give a shout out to all the guys and gals that made my two shifts tonight so very entertaining. I thank all of you for your service, especially the one that said, "Usually I'm more charming." Probably I need to do a top 20 list because now I'm regretting he didn't make the top 10...it was classic.

Until next time. Saving the world...one soldier at a time.
