I Fought Saddam...and Saved a Bundle!
The all-girl band "Skin Tight" picked up several of us one night for free rock 'n roll as well as a chance at the microphone. Better yet, consider this exchange that happened at one of the local miniature golf courses:
Me: "How much is golf?"
Owner: "Five dollars."
Me: "Even if you're a Bona Fide Desert Storm Veteran?"
Owner: "Here's two free passes."
Not everything worked that way. The tolls for the bridges into New York range are $4 to $5. One sailor tried this:
Sailor: "The mayor said Navy people could use this bridge for free."
Toll collector: "The mayor doesn't own this bridge."
