“WHEN THE 6’4" 250 POUND GIANT OF A MAN LYNDON JOHNSON WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, HE WAS ON THE TARMAC OF AN AIR FORCE BASE, VISITING THE TROOPS IN VIETNAM IN 1965 AND HE WAS BEING ESCORTED TO HIS HELICOPTER BY A LOWLY CORPORAL. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS, THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF HELICOPTERS ON THE TARMAC AND THE PRESIDENT WASN’T SURE WHICH ONE WAS HIS.

K. THE YOUNG AIR FORCE CORPORAL THOUGHT HE WOULD HELP PRESIDENT JOHNSON FIND HIS HELICOPTER, SO HE POINTED TO ONE AND SAID, "MR. PRESIDENT, THIS IS YOUR HELICOPTER SIR." AND PRESIDENT JOHNSON ABRUPTLY STOPPED, LOOKED AT THE YOUNG AIRMAN AND SAID, "SON, EVERY BLANKITY BLANK ONE OF THOSE HELICOPTERS IS MINE."
