軍隊生活で最も記憶に残っている出来事

I went to a public bathhouse in Italy, and the madam said all the singles are occupied but I can have a double. I said OK and took a room with two tubs. After I was in the tub and soaking, the door opened and two young ladies walked in. Without hesitation, they undressed right in front of me with my eyes wide open and my face as red as a beet. They then stepped into their tub. After what felt like hours, they asked me when I was going to wash up and get out. Under my aroused condition, I wasn't going to stand up before those ladies. So I told them I was waiting for them to get finished and leave. They told me they were waiting for me to get finished first so that they could get my soap. I told them, 'Here, use my soap and wash yourselves'. After they bathed, they got up dried themselves and got dressed. As they were departing, they returned my soap and bid me a cheerful 'Ciao'. I think they took pleasure in my embarassment.

その他の情報

As a brash and slightly wild teenager, I volunteered for the Army. Although wounded, I was fortunate that it wasn't a blinding, crippling or dibilitating wound. After the war, I was lucky enough to get a wonderful education under the G.I. Bill. My degree offered me a very rewarding career in Engineering. My only regret is that my wife passed away and is not here to help me with my retirement. Life is too lonesome without her.
