Funny. Thanks for posting.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

Pronounce the name 'Smith' as 'Simit'

Refer to their sweetheart as "puss" or "boopsey"

Funniest thing is at POE in Fort Lauderdale, one of the gentlemen that was processed was called Smith; I was sitting there with Aaron teasing that back home they would say, "Missa Simit"...

Another nickname is putuss...My nickname was Puunchie (given by my stepmom) :lol::lol:
