I love Tom’s humor. He’s a Marine through and through. I think they just ran out of slots for Air Force enlistments in 1968 when he signed up or he would have become a zoomie. Check this out. 

Jerry asked Earl, “At your ripe age, what do you prefer to get – Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s?”

Spoken like a Proud Marine.
