No, no. You're right, I shouldn't be in bed.

"No, no. You're right, I shouldn't be in bed."
Met a guy just outside my Q. C-141 USAFR student. Washed back several classes with a broken leg. Out partying...let's a young lady (female student?) drive...and she crashed.
HQ ATC loves doing their Q inspections. Notices go out to the Q inhabitants - make sure everything's ship shape. Mike breaks his leg right after the base people inspect the Q's but right before the HQ ATC guys come by???
So Mike's been living like a hermit for a couple days. Guys bring him food, his leg is killing him, he's on pain pills. Asleep..."knock, knock" Go away, I'm sleeping. "Open up." No, I'm sleeping. They let themselves in. Blinds are drawn, probably pizza boxes and other stuff laying around. Base inspector has to be a tough guy in front of the HQ ATC guy - "Lt, this place is a mess. What are you doing in bed?" Nah, I"m good. I'm comfortable. "Lt, get out of bed. That's an order." Okay....Mike struggles to get out of bed in obvious pain - "oh...no, stay in bed." No, no. You're right, I should be out of bed.
They left and he went back to bed.
