I'm being funny. Ha-ha, with the playful ribbing and such. :-)
Well being a retired reserve Air Force officer working on an Army post (even the contractors are mostly retired or at least former Army) I'm a bit prickley about such "playful" ribbing. But I'm starting to feel comfortable enough with the folks to give it back, and they find they don't really enjoy playing games of wit with me. But the worst offender, being a Texas Aggie, just keeps coming back for more.
But, OTOH, I hadn't seen him for a while until yesterday, and he seemed glad to see me. Probably just trying to set me up for another attack. :)
