Just curious to what stands out the most, trying to get away from some of the more serious topics that have been trending.

Sometimes we get stuff from well intentioned (but poorly thought out) civilians...that makes us just laugh, or just say "why?".

For me, it was 168 twinkies....don't know where they came from or why....but they were tasty with our morning coffee.

While on a remote in Turkey, wife sent me a small statue of man sitting under a tree with a bluebird on a limb above him. Caption said 'Go Ahead, Everyone Else Does'. Funny when I got it, but when assignment was over and I was packing up to leave the drug dog, that checked every departing shipment from Turkey, alerted on that statue. Handlers opened statue, sure that they had an officer trying to smuggle drugs out of country. Turned out it had nothing but silicon sand in it. SPs guessed that people making statue probably were using drugs and some got into the sand which is what dog alerted on. I still have that statue!
