If you could spend the whole day with a famous person

I think Jesus would be the most interesting person, but aside from him:

I would choose Lee Ermey, the DI from the movie “Full Metal Jacket.” Have you ever heard how he got the job? He wasn’t originally contracted to play the part.

Harold Bray, the last living survivor of the USS Indianapolis. If you never heard the story of this ship, you’re missing out on a huge part of the history of this ship. He was Navy.

Adolf Hitler, the biggest turd in the world forevermore, but I would like to hear him talk his way out of the killing of 6 million plus Jews, plus I would take great pleasure in watching him hang.

A famous person for a day isn't in my bucket list.

I would miss my Wife too much!

“Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money!”

Capt. William Thomas Turner of the Lusitania. I have a feeling we would've gotten along great. We're both grouchy and antisocial. :LOL:

I've studied her and her poetry for quite a number of years. I have even toured her home on Main street in Amherst, MA, and visited the family grave plot in West Cemetery. Harvard University has an "Emily Dickinson" room in Houghton library I've also visited. Harvard owns about 1/2 of her known Manuscripts.

My wife and I watched the movie “Full Metal Jacket” within the past few nights and for the first time, my wife asked me if my Drill Instructor treated us the same way as Ermey did in the movie. I told her no, they weren’t supposed to be allowed to go to that extreme, however, there were a few D.I’s that played rogue and did.

Our D.I. Told us from the beginning that from Day 1, we won’t like him. He told us it’s his job was to prepare us for Vietnam. Furthermore, he said he was going to tear us down and rebuild us into a killing machine.

The part in the movie where Ermey says, “Most of you will go to Vietnam, but remember this, “God loves Marines, and until the day you die, you will always be a Marine. We are a brotherhood.”

There were times when our D.I. got into our faces. He never spoke kind words to us. I think he practiced being the biggest ah on earth. When we finally reached the end of boot camp, I was actually very glad to be getting away from him. I thought to myself, it has to get better and it did when I was sent to Quantico where I learned AWT.
