Quick funny story about one of my buddies.
There was an airshow at an Air Force base. The lowest ranking guy (my buddy) was in charge of getting a table at the bar. The crew told him they reserved a head table, he just had to claim it. They told him no matter what, he had to claim the table.
Fast forward to the airshow. As soon as the crew landed, they reminded my buddy about the table. He hopped in the transportation van and sped to the bar. Wall to wall people, not an empty table in sight. He made his way to the head table but there was an older guy sitting there, surrounded by people.
The crew showed up to the bar. "Where's our table?" My buddy said it was occupied. "Walk up to that dude and tell that motherfucker to get the fuck out!"
My buddy boldly headed to the table and prepared to tell the old guy exactly that until another crew member yanked him away. "Do you know who that is?"
"Nope," my buddy says.
"That's Chuck Yeager!"
The crew had set my buddy up for weeks to scream obscenities in Chuck Yeager's face.
