It was the being around 50 other guys who were naked/half naked all the time they kept me from getting wood.

I won't comment as to why you needed the extra help. :p

Obviously the hayride for last fall was shot. It is amazing what people want for a haywagon...

Anyway, still on for this years poker tourney. As long it is in the June-ish or later time frame.

I guess unfortunately I just brought back CCI talking about his woody's while serving our country...

yes, I realize that this has taken 4 months, but I have been busy every Saturday with my youngests football games, and practice and whatnot. Only working on Sundays tends to limit the amount of productivity.

That's about the biggest urban legend in the military. I heard that shit when I went through USAF basic training in 1975. When I became the first sergeant for the unit that ran the chow hall, I specifically asked my boss (the squadron commander) about that, and he just laughed. He said the USAF, and the other services, have never put that in the food for basic trainees.

You gotta love the lasting strength of this particular urban legend however!

So little time spent checking this story and yet so much information can be found.

Potassium nitrate was once thought to induce impotence, and is still falsely rumored to be in institutional food (such as military fare) as an anaphrodisiac; these uses would be ineffective, since potassium nitrate has no such properties.[2] However, potassium nitrate and other nitrates do successfully combat high blood pressure and are used medically to relieve angina.

In the process of food preservation, potassium nitrate has been a common ingredient of salted meat since the Middle Ages,[10] but its use has been mostly discontinued due to inconsistent results compared to more modern nitrate and nitrite compounds. Even so, saltpeter is still used in some food applications, such as charcuterie and the brine used to make corned beef.[11] Sodium nitrate (and nitrite) have mostly supplanted saltpeter's culinary usage, as they are more reliable in preventing bacterial infection than saltpeter. All three give cured salami and corned beef their characteristic pink hue.

Granted, these are wikipedia quotes but the information is the same elsewhere. It's the jumbling of these two pieces of information that cause that constant legend circulation.
