    And how does this relate to "Traditional Hot Rods and Customs"?
     

  4. Are you saying that people who like "tradional Hot Rods" can't enjoy a joke or have no sense of humor? There is a 20 page post on the "funniest things on the Hamb" here--Someone musta thought that it was ok to post a joke or two...

    I had to save that one OldFart these kids don't have any sense of humor it seems. You were probably like me and didn't know that there was a special humor thread.

    As a vet I worked in the VA office in college, only veterans were hired part time. The crap we saw the VA pull on our vets was disgusting. That said, I like the wheelchair, looks like it was chopped a little.
     

  13. yea the first time I heard they were going to dump agent orange on our little part of paradise I thought it was some new kind of acid. :eek:

    I thought the chair was kind of funny anyway. It is at least as traditional as laying frame and air bags. :rolleyes:

    Actually more traditional the older I get.

    Hmmmm....Ya know, if every post on this General Discussion was limited to 100% traditional talk and ONLY dealt with prior 1964 cars, then Ryan would have enough band width left over to show Gone with the Wind, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

    You got it right Doc, Thanks.

  22. Zman ain't but my long hair don't cover up my redneck. Tha's not a problem is it?

    Doc,
    You earned as much thanks probably more than I. I don't know that anyone ever really wants to acknowledge that for either of us.

    Thanks my friend.

    Now as for OT, I could really use a laugh today, it beats the normal drama any day.
     

  23. Damn right, these guys gave it all for us to be able to be alive and free to build our Hotrods and traditional customs.

    If you dont like it then dont read it or post.
    if you dont like that then leave the forum!!!!!!
     
  24. You're going to have to do better than that to get Z-man to leave. Trust me I know.

    While I appreciate that many of you would like to thank all who served for a lot of us it is really too little too late. Not your fault so don't take it that way.

    never the less part of what many sacrificed for is also the right to an opinion that any of you enjoy. I am not defending Z-Man here he is a grown man a perfectly capable of defending himself, but one should be aware that what was sacrificed for is every freedom that we enjoy, take all of it or none of it.

    Not to get the last word here but maybe we can avoid the drama and get back to the humor.

    Well put Doc. Not everybody has been fortunate enough to earn the right to use the VA hospital nor unfortunate enough to have to use them. This countries sons and daughters gave the government a blank check, their life payable upon demand. The VA is one service that should never ever have budget cuts.

    I like the humor- need a post like this today. And there is nothing more traditional than a good laugh. To many of the young people of today have lost that.
    As for the vets thanks for serving.
    As for the wheel chair if you could have found an old shell back steel chair it definatly would have been traditional. But the VA wold not have spent the time or money for something that well made ???????????????
