Smilies Legend
[i]Well sir, I'm gonna' tell you the truth and the sad thing about the truth in this case is, it's boring. When I was in the Air Force I flew a couple different jets and as you know there's a lot of competition between flying communities in the Air Force. When I started flying, I flew A-10s and my call sign back in those days was Spider. Later, when I transferred to F-16s, they asked me what my nickname was and I told 'em and they said, "Well, you're a filthy, dirty A-10 driver and we gotta' give you a new nickname." As it turns out they just had a guy leave the squadron and his handle was Digger and they said, "We need a new Digger and you're it." I told 'em I despised that name with every fiber in my being. My squadron commander put his arm around my neck, smiled and said, "Well, that's exactly why we're gonna' call you Digger."[/i]
