Hero of the Day: R.Lee Ermey
By John
...of Full Metal Jacket fame. The most quoted DI in history, also hero of the working man!
When Don Luke saw a tall former Marine Corps drill instructor walk into the Wells Fargo Bank on Russell Street on Monday, a light clicked on.“He looked very familiar,” Luke said. “I watch the History Channel a ton.”
Sure enough, it was R. Lee Ermey, star of the network's “Mail Call,” with a line of movie credits that stretches back to the 1970s.
Ermey, in Missoula this week to shoot a segment for his upcoming series “Locked and Loaded,” had been driving with crew member Harlan Glenn to a Fort Missoula museum when he spotted something black lying on the blacktop.On closer examination, it turned out to be a bank deposit bag. Ermey stopped the car and picked it up.
“We look in there and - Lord have mercy,” he said.
The bag contained a pile of dough: cash and checks that looked like they were meant for deposit in an American Indian fund of some sort.
“Just on one deposit slip alone was, like, $3,700, and another one for $2,800,” Glenn said. “There was easily $8,000 in cash, and the rest in checks.”
Ermey said his first thought was: “Some poor guy, right now, is probably getting fired, probably having the worst day of his life.
“So what we did was we went right down to the Wells Fargo bank and deposited it for him.”

Service before self, honor and integrity in all we do. Doing the right thing even when nobody is looking.
Holy Jesus! What the f^&k is that? WHAT IS THAT, HARLAN?
An undeposited cash bag, Sir!
An undesposited cash bag. Are you allowed to have food in the
Okay it kind of breaks down there.
THAT'S RIGHT PYLE! DON'T MAKE ANY ACTUAL EFFORT TO DEPOSIT THAT CASH! IF GOD WANTED THAT MONEY IN THE BANK HE WOULD HAVE MIRICLED IT IN THERE!!!!
I'm gonna get that cash deposited if it short-dicks every cannibal in the Congo!
I am hard but I am fair. There is no fiscal bigotry here. I do not look down upon florins, franks, kips or guilders. Here you are all equally worthless!

Nothing he hates more than an undeposited cash. If it wasn't for things like that, there wouldn't be any overdrawn checking accounts, would there?
