Delayed Reaction

When you make a kissing sound and motion approximately 15 seconds after your boyfriend has left the vicinity of your face after kissing you. He will then spend 5 minutes generating a substantial amount of laughter from you by 1. Acting very homosexual-attitude about the situation and 2. Showing you how crazy it makes you look.
When kissing my girlfriend last night she sat there without returning the kiss. She did not even respond. I pulled away and after about 15 seconds of just looking at her she made the sound of a kiss and a slight purse of her lips. Apparently there was an invisible man between us or she is just crazy. That is when I said "That was a Delayed Reaction"!

2) The DFAC is open 24 hours a day with good, edible food.

3) There are a number of fast food restaurants available including: Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Burger King, and Dairy Queen.

4) No one carries a firearm (except for MP's), yet occupants of this base receive Hostile Fire Pay/Imminent Danger Pay, Hardship Duty Pay, and Combat Zone Tax Exclusion.

5) Scheduled outings where groups of personnel can go on a tour of different parts of the city and participate in golf tournaments.

6) It's ran by the Air Force.
