Not sure if it’s based on an actual true story or not but has probably been played out thousands of times.
Murphy, a furniture dealer from Dublin, decided to expand the line of furniture in his store, so he went to Paris to see what he could find.
After arriving in Paris , he visited with some manufacturers and selected a line that he thought would sell well back home. To celebrate the new acquisition, he decided to visit a small bistro and have a glass of wine.
As he sat enjoying his wine, he noticed that the small place was quite crowded, and that the other chair at his table was the only vacant seat in the house.
Before long, a very beautiful young Parisian girl came to his table, she
asked him something in French (which Murphy could not understand), so he motioned to the vacant chair and invited her to sit down.
He tried to speak to her in English, but she did not speak his language. After a couple of minutes of trying to communicate with her, he took a napkin and drew a picture of a wine glass
and showed it to her. She nodded, so he ordered a glass of wine for her.
After sitting together at the table for a while, he took another napkin, and drew a picture of a plate with food on it, and she nodded. They left the bistro and found a quiet cafe that featured a small group playing romantic music.
They ordered dinner, after which he took another napkin and drew a picture of a couple dancing.
She nodded, and they got up to dance. They danced until the cafe closed and the band was packing up.
Back at their table, the young lady took a napkin and drew a picture of a four-poster bed.
To this day, Murphy has no idea how she figured out he was in the furniture business

I can think of at least a dozen wives who left because their husbands deployed. Had a friend who got the news on the way home after GW I. At least she was kind enough to pick him up. She even had all his stuff packed and delivered to a storage unit.
It is amazing how compassionate and loving women are compared to men who are the most insensitivity and cruel species.
PS: I watched and skipped forward to the ending several times. It gets better every time I watch it.
My ex left me 4 months into a 15 month deployment. She was caught fucking another soldier, he got demoted for adultry.
She wasnt a loss after all.

I wasn’t far into my first West-Pac and found out Jody had taken my GF away.
Wasn’t that torn up at all , just really pissed that she was letting him drive my new VW.
I took the rejection , got her to take my VW to my Uncle , then went off to the Battle of Olongapo City 
Had a score to settle !!
Women can be meaner than a one eyed cottonmouth !
I Remember going to National City and seeing all the West Pac widows hitting the bars. Ship wasn’t even out of North Island far.

Heres a really fucked up one.
Guy in one of my trauma groups, his wife started seeing a guy while he was in Afghanistan. He had two kids with her.
Well the guy one night took them all out and got drunk but drove anyways. He ended up killing one of the guys kids.
Guy was seriously fucked in the head after that.
I thought my shit was bad.

Rear brakes were worse, but they didn't want to fix those either.
You know what is worse than that? I have a aviation company and we see crap like that come through our shop! Dipshits think stuff like that is OK!
GEEZ!
SMH. Agreed, it’s bad enough on the road, I can’t even imagine that shit in the air. I’ve been at my shop for 37 years, and that’s the first time I’ve seen a valve stem sealed by a piece of string!! Sorta brilliant in a dumb ass kinda way. Lol.
His words are true, but I have a hard time seeing all of it as progress.
He's only stating the obvious. It shouldn't take a talk show host to remind us what's happening in today's society. We know. The Left is using any and all tools to try to make their ideals everyone else's. That why I fight for MY rights every day. Because in this world today, if you don't, then no one will.
This was hanging on the wall at my LGS... awesome!

Maybe Sihr, but I’m guessing school’s out and it’s 4:20…
It’s said if you can remember the 70s, ya prolly weren’t there.

I was there, but I was 10. Fortunately, 8 years later, they had invented Brazilian waxing, deodorant and the Lady Shaver.

I was there. The movie dazed and confused was pretty much the story of my high school career.

Turned 18 in '73 and most definitely remember that look. Lots of sexy women back and yes big muffs were definitely in style.
