"Snorted" coffee out his nose.

"Snorted" coffee out his nose.

I was one of the New Zealand mechanics with Draken International. In a lull between waves, I adjourned to the office with my other Kiwi counterpart, along with a group that included Dale.

While discussing an upcoming job, my colleague questioned my ability to accomplish the task. In disgust, I responded by licking my forearm and saying "This shit ain't icing sugar! This is prime kiwi beef!"

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Dale had "snorted" his coffee out through his nose and onto the documents in front of him. It was like making God laugh and ever since, I've felt at peace with the world.

Thank you for being my friend Dale.
