Bill Asbell F-8 USN Viet Nam x 3 =30 months ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Gummo" ; "RV List" Subject: Rocket-List: Humor? You make the call. :-) > --> Rocket-List message posted by: "Tom Gummo" > > > With so many illegal aliens here in California, (they can't serve on jury duty, but they take up space and time, don't get me started) I get a jury summons at least once a year. If I get selected, I am normally excused by the defense lawyer for one reason or the other. However yesterday, no such luck. > > > During the questioning period, the D.A. asked each of us to state our names, jobs, and if we knew any police officers. > > > I stated my name, Tom Gummo, that I was a retired Air Force Pilot and was currently teaching Chemistry at the local college. I then said that I knew several police officers as they helped me build my plane (KABONG is one). I throw in the military officer as it seems that defense lawyers don't like that in the jury pool. > > > 1. The judge stopped the D.A. and asked if I knew anything about my last name. I told him that it was the name of the fifth Marx brother (if you are young - look them up on the Internet). > > 2. He then asked what I flew. I told them about the F-4G and the Wild Weasels. > > 3. The judge then asked why I built my own plane. Of course, the great characteristics of the RV series were explained. > > 4. The D.A. then stated that most pilots had a call-sign and wanted to know mine. "GummiBear" was my reply - with a body style (less than thin) and a last name of Gummo - the call-sign was a natural and remained with me for the whole twenty years. > > 5. He then wanted to know about any combat I flew. Gulf War I (1990-1991) > > > So in the middle of a criminal trial, the transcript will show that juror #4, has the last name of a Marx brother, built and flies a Harmon Rocket, was called "GummiBear", and flew in the Gulf War. > > > WTFO > > > Tom "GummiBear" Gummo > Wild Weasel #1573 > > http://mysite.verizon.net/t.gummo/index.html > > > Apple Valley, CA > Harmon Rocket-II > > do not archive > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:16:45 AM PST US From: UFOBUCK@aol.com Subject: Re: Rocket-List: Humor?
