It's Fleet Week here in New York City. The city is full of seaman! I always get fearful when I see a bunch of people walking around in white. Well, at least they aren't wearing hoods. The guys and gals of our naval forces are all over the city. Especially in midtown, since the ships are docked there. It's both annoying and funny at the same time. Everywhere you go, there they are. Now, don't get me wrong. They certainly deserve to whoop it up and have a good time. And that they do.
With the sailors on land, the women who love men in uniform come out in droves. Once again, good for the sailors. They deserve any port in a storm. But, some of those ports.....yikes! And, some of the girls have started a tradition. Kind of shady if you ask me. They see how many hats or ties or whatever they can collect. Just leading the guys on then bouncing. I saw this happen recently and wanted to snatch the hat back from the girl. She was flirting and dancing with the sailor for awhile. Got his hat and tie. He got the tie back, but then she went and hid behind some bouncer she knew. What a bitch! Like moms used to say, "Don't be teasin', 'less you plan on pleasin'!"
Here's to all of the men and women enjoying their week off in NYC. Drink up, have sex and get into all sorts of trouble! Just be back on the ship by 6 am or you'll be swabbing the decks!
And, take a moment to remember them all today on Memorial Day.
Okay, now get back to the drinking, sex and trouble! Enjoy!
