The Colonel’s name had long been part of the blue book…which made sense, seeing as how he was blue.
I’m not sure why he was blue. Maybe he ate too many blueberries. Maybe he was a smurf. Like Colonel Smurf. Or Randy Older Guy Smurf. Or maybe it was just the most extreme case of blue balls yet known to medical science.
But whatever the case, his skin was bluish, and so he was in the book of people with blue skin, or “blue book”.
What? Don’t look at me like that. Just because you’ve never heard about it until now doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. I mean, can you prove there’s no such thing as a “blue book”? Can you?
Yeah. I didn’t think so. Keep walkin’ there smart guy.
Anyway…and I was flattered by his attention.
‘Lila’ sounds better than ‘lieutenant’…
Imagine an army where all titles were replaced with girls names. Might do wonders for morale ????
Does that “blue book” list his current market value like the ‘other’ blue book for cars and trucks?
Who knows, but I’d say his value is falling rapidly either way.
She’s nervous, she needs to break the mood, so she goes right for the sticky?!!
