Anybody see Leno last night?

Anybody else see the former POW on Leno last night?

I think His last name is Miller.

Jay asked Him what happened after He was captured?
He replied "they searched Me and found the can of Skoal and had never seen it before, asked what it was and I told them candy. Three or four of them ate some and got sick."

Ha ha.

[Eaker]

Too funny ping!!!!!

[1stFreedom]

I remember the first time I used Skoal. My "friend" told me to swallow instead of spitting.

I never felt so sick in my life!

(Some people can swallow the tobacco juices with no problem. It makes me nauseated beyond belief.)

[ServesURight]

I would never try smokeless tobbacco. That stuff will rot your teeth and tongue out.

[StriperSniper]

LOL!

No didn't see it, thanks for sharing.

[ChefKeith]

I laughed so loud and hard I woke the Wife up.

[Welsh Rabbit]

When I was about six, my cousin and I sneaked a pinch of my uncle's snuff. We didn't know what we were doing and swallowed some juice. We both threw up all over my grandma's house. I've never tried it again...

[Ancesthntr]

While that was, I am sure, good for a lot of laughs for him and for everyone who hears the story, it probably isn't the very best thing to do when you're a POW. I'll bet that the poor guy also got the spit kicked out of him because of those Iraqis getting sick. That all being said, it is an honor to have people such as him serving this country and protecting our freedom.

[TEXOKIE]

bttt

[ChefKeith]

I agree, but still funny.

He also said He sang C&W songs to the guards and anybody that has heard Him sing doesn't want to a second time.

[dwilli]

Anyone old enough besides me that remembers the Peach
Brand Snuff sample tins that used to come in the mail?

[Deguello]

Many times if a person got sick on Skoal, you could come back to them a few days later or even a month and give them a wintergreen Lifesaver just to watch them throw up again.

***Warning** Do not do this in an elevator or other confined space like an tram car going up the side of a mountian like my cousin did to this other poor sap.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Reminds me of a Fairly Odd Parents episode (I have a toddler). Timmy goes to an alien spaceship and astounds them by his ability to eat chocolate and romp in a field of flowers and hug stuffed animals-- all of which cause death to the alien race. I bet the Iraqis couldn't believe our GIs could stomach to eat that as candy.

[tubebender]

What brand does "Fatback" McSwain chew...

[KC Burke]

To keep his spirits up during captivity, Miller sang Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue" over and over again...with his guards listening.

[wattsmag2]

Actually, most canned tobacco is alkaline rather than acid. Alkalinity causes quicker release of the nicotine. So rotten teeth? No. Unless the person does not practice oral hygeine otherwise. Which, of course, is entirely possible.

[ChefKeith]

Good ?

With the nickname "Fatback" I would lean towards he just cuts off a chunk of it from a pig and chews that.

[SquirrelKing]

Bwuhahahaha!

No, Achmed! It is weapon of mouth destruction!
