FAMILY FEUD. A family was jolted by the sudden appearance of a frantic relative seeking solace in their house one night. The teenager told his relatives to hide him as his father was looking for him. Not long after his father indeed appeared and started shouting from outside threatening to beat him up and kill him. Much later after his father had left, the boy explained to his relatives that they had argued over what to watch on television. Relatives told an EAR source the two were never really close. The boy ended up spending the night in that house until other relatives determined it was safe for him to come home.
SINGLE AND ABLE SIR! The commanding officer of an ROTC unit could not help but laugh when he received an inappropriate response to a proper military question during a formation. When he asked a platoon leader what the status of his platoon was he expected to receive a reply if they were well-rested and ready to move out. But… “We are all single sir,” the platoon leader replied matter-of-factly. The rest of the officers did all their best to hold back their snickers.
