8. A few days ago I was on the bike at the gym

Yesterday

I'm in my 60's, retired navy and I'm at the gym on the bike and next to me is a vet from the Korean War. Some other old guy (about 10 yrs older then me) comes over to the two of us, he knows the other guy and said he had a little off color joke for us. He tells it, it wasn't funny and I said I'm not a trumper. He looked at me and said, "I thought you wouldn't mind since you had been in the service", I had a old navy pt shirt on, I looked at him and said that all service members are not trumpers or republicans. He stayed about another minute then walked away. I doubt if those two guys will approach me again and that will be a good thing.
