The other day I was talking to another Vietnam vet via email from my old outfit in the late 60’s. We now have a web site where we can now tell our stories, post pictures that we were not suppose to take, talk to old friends, and find out when/where the next reunion is. This outfit was classified TOP SECRET from 1962 until a few years ago. Anyway, he works on the web site and had asked me if I had any of the hidden photos from that time and if I did would I send him the pictures to put on the website. So I went thru my old collection of photos and digitize a bunch to send to him. I bundled them all up and emailed them to him. A few days later I get another email from him thanking me for the pictures and ‘BTW who is the chick?” I sat there trying to figure out what he was talking about. So I sent him an email, “What chick?” He replies with a photo of me in my LBD”. I sat there dumb struck, quietly saying to myself, OMG OMG OMG … I quickly pulled up the folder that I had put the Vietnam pictures in and discovered that it also had some of JoAnn’s pictures in it. How that happen I have no clue, but there they were. So here I sit still saying to myself OMG OMG, wondering what I am going to do now. Then I told myself, “Dude, you’re an old ex Spook, Think, Think, you have been in worst situations, so think this out”. So I am sitting there trying to figure out what to say to him, when a light bulb goes off over my head. “Dude, he thinks the pictures are of a real GG.” I have had horndogs that have seen my yahoo pictures and thought I was a real GG, so an idea starts to formulate in my brain. So I send him back an email saying “Sorry about the extra pictures, not sure how my nieces pictures ended up with the Vietnam pictures”. I figured and hoped that would be the end of that embarrassment. Nope no such luck. Back comes another email, “What’s her name and is she single?” OMG, now what do I do now. After thinking about it some more, I send him back an email saying, “Her name is JoAnn and she is Married” I get a return email, “OK, Why is it that all the sexy ones are already married.” Whew finally I can relax. So I sat back and thought to myself, “OK, that was a close one, got to be more careful about my JoAnn pictures”. So I started searching for all of JoAnn’s pictures on my hard drive, so I could consolidate them into one folder. Then it struck me, “I’m sexy looking???” I pull up the same picture of me in my LBD, and stare at it. After a few minutes I close the picture and said to myself, “Some people have weird tastes.” I spent the next hour consolidating all of JoAnn’s pictures into one folder, then encrypted all the files, and put a password lock on the folder.
Somehow when I digitized the Vietnam pictures the digitizer software put them into the same folder I had some of JoAnn’s pictures in. I am very relieved that none of JoAnn’s lingerie pictures were not in that folder. That would really have been embarrassing.
