That's an old one, Dominique retired at least 3 years ago, I think the story is older than that.

Still remember her from the Stevens and Pruett morning radio show in the early 80s.

Pruett retired from that and opened his Anti Terrorist Headquarters in Cypress. He's been gone almost 10 years.

In 2002 we were flying from Tulsa to Burbank to spend Christmas with my brother in law in LA. While waiting to board our flight I heard someone say “hey, that’s Klinger down there”, I knew Jamie Farr had been in town for a theater production so I walked down the terminal and sure enough Jamie was sitting there. Jamie saw me and I said that I used to watch MASH with my dad and he got what was obviously a polite smile on his face and I said it’s nice to meet you Mr Farr, when I said his name his whole demeanor changed and we talked for 10 minutes. When we landed in Burbank he got off first being seated in first class and he stood on the jetway and waited until we got off the plane to say goodbye and wish us a good trip.
 
Look at my Avatar/signature.

It's "Mr. Sugar Tits to you", dumbass. :rolleyes: :ROFLMAO:

The Mod that gave me that name has been notified and you'll be hearing from him forthwith. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
A. You don’t have to hurt my feelings like that.
B. We all know @MarinePMI is too busy for your bullshit.

"For a small amount of perspective at this moment, imagine you were born in 1900... Then on your 14th birthday, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday. 22 million people perish in that war, including many of your friends who volunteered to defend freedom in Europe. ⁣ ⁣ Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until your 20th birthday. 50 million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million. On your 29th birthday, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, the World GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 38. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. If you were lucky, you had a job that paid $300 a year, a dollar a day. ⁣ ⁣ When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet, but don’t try to catch your breath. If you lived in London, England or most of continental Europe, bombing of your neighborhood, or invasion of your country by foreign soldiers along with their tank and artillery was a daily event...Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war. ⁣ ⁣ At 50, the Korean War starts. 5 million perish. At 55 the Vietnam War begins and doesn’t end for 20 years. 4 million people perish in that conflict. On your 62nd birthday there is the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could have ended. Sensible leaders prevented that from happening. ⁣ ⁣ In 2020, we have the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands have died; it feels pretty dangerous; and it is. Now think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you think they survived all of the above? When you were a kid in 1965, you didn’t think your 65-year-old grandparents understood how hard school was, and how mean that kid in your class was. Yet they survived through everything listed above. Perspective is an amazing art. Refined as time goes on, and very enlightening. So, let’s try and keep things in perspective. Let’s be smart, we are all in this together. Let’s help each other out, and we will get through all of this."⁣
