Got this off strangecosmos.com. Don'y know whether it's true or not, but I'd like to believe it is.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. --
Police said they arrested a man for spitting on two-time Academy Award-winning actress Jane Fonda during a book-signing stop in Kansas City Tuesday night.

Fonda, 67, spoke at Unity Temple, in The Plaza shopping district, about her new best-selling book, "My Life So Far," and her new movie with Jennifer Lopez called "Monster-In-Law."

At about 9 p.m., police said, a man who had been waiting in line for about 90 minutes, passed a book to Fonda and then spit a large amount of tobacco juice into her face.

They said the man then ran away and was taken into custody by off-duty officers, who were providing security for the event.

Michael A. Smith, 54, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, which is a city charge.

In 1972, Fonda was photographed sitting in a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft tank. About her involvement in the Vietnam War, Fonda has apologized for her anti-aircraft tank photo. She has called it an incredible lapse in judgment.

An incredible lapse in judgement? More like treason. I'll bet the bag concerned was glad he wasn't armed! Might make her think a bit more about going out in public again. :finga:

Cheers

I'm new and haven't got time to read all of the past posts on this thread. Just to get back to the Quarterdeck Bar--so THAT'S why all you blokes were looking out the window!

Wayne,
What a great display. Sight and sound certainly make it a worthwhile
website to save for the kids. As well as us not so little kids.

Rick
That was a great movie and at times a little too close to home.
It's funny how fact is stranger that fiction.

I noticed in the news last night that the first Tiger attack helicopter has been accepted into the army helicopter wing. Then the news went on to cover a helicopter rescue somewhere, and the chopper was a Huey.

The Huey, being synonymous with the Vietnam war, is still flying all over the world over 40 years since it's introduction, and being used by military and civilians alike.

It got me thinking. Are all the Hueys flying around ex-military? Were they made for civilian companies as well?
