Dentist Appointment at 10:10 tomorrow morning

Once when I was in the Air Force and stationed on the island of Crete a group of about twelve of us were sent on a temporary assignment to Turkey.
When we arrived in the airport in Istanbul we were assigned a guide, a girl from Yugoslavia, to help us make our way by bus to the base which was an all night drive from Istanbul.
She was very pretty.
She was thin with long blond wavy hair.
She wore blue jeans and a sleeveless blouse, and sandals.
Her toenails were painted red.
She got us hotel rooms for the night.
It was a small inexpensive hotel.
She told us we should say that we stayed at the Sheraton and that when we were reimbursed we could pocket the difference.
She got us two hookers.
I declined on the hookers.
I didn't like the odds.
So, the two of us sat in the lobby and drank warm Turkish beer and talked about music, and movies, and nude beaches until the hookers left.
The next day when we got to the base we all got together and chipped in five dollars a piece to give to her for her troubles.
I also gave her a carton of Marlboro's in the soft pack.
She thanked me.
The rest of the guys ribbed me.
Big deal.
