LOL...."...but it's all Greek to me."<br /><br />LOL. The first night I was ever in Athens was when being ferried down to Incirlik AFB, Turkey as replacement as replacement aircrews for the other two flights who were sitting nuclear alert there as part of the UK Wings NATO commitment (We stopped in Athens to RON--remain overnite--instead of one-hopping it as France wouldn't let us overfly and so had to go the long-way round thru Spain.) At that time (1970) George Peppard had just come out with a spy thriller called <i>The Executioner</i> in which the movie features him meeting an operative at this Greek restaurant (whose name I can't remember even tho I ate there) perched on a rocky out-cropping with outdoor patio seating providing a fantastic view of the night-time spot-lit Acropolis/Parthanon looming, above. Natch THAT was the restaurant we all wanted to eat at SO....off we went in a party of eight for dinner that night. Well, as I was the Senior Officer (A Capt all of age 26, lol, but all the rest just happened to be 2nd Lts fresh out of flt school or 1/lts) Thus I was the "Navigator" for the evening, but this Nav got lost--repeatedly. The natives were restless and their stomachs were growling: "What's the deal, are we going to wander all night or should we hit the nearest place?" I COULDN'T miss the situational opportunity of a lifetime. I threw up my hands, exasperatedly gestured towards all the store-front and street signs, and said: "These signs, it's all so confusing--it all looks like Greek to me!" LOL! Several <i>immediately</i> lunged for my throat only to be constrained by the others with the greatest of difficulty. LOL!!! I just COULDN'T resist..virgil xenophonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577165785872035948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-60905926329118607252012-12-28T16:37:29.362-07:002012-12-28T16:37:29.362-07:00Yo Suldog, maybe it's in the Irish-Jewish Amer...Yo Suldog, maybe it's in the Irish-Jewish American wiki list.
