How did this guy avoid court martial?

And, is he Armaphine?

If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.


May not call any officers immoral, untrustworthy, lying, slime, even if I'm right.

Must not taunt the French any more.

Must attempt to not antagonize SAS.

Must never call an SAS a 'Wanker'.

Must not tell any officer that I am smarter than they are, especially if it's true.

Never confuse a Dutch soldier for a French one.

Not allowed to quote 'Full Metal Jacket ' at the rifle range.

There are no evil clowns living under my bed.

May not conduct psychological experiments on my chain of command.

I am not allowed to mount a bayonet on a crew-served weapon.

Must not mock command decisions in front of the press.

Should not taunt members of the press, even if they are really fat, exceptionally stupid, and working for UPI.

`I'm drunk' is a bad answer to any question posed by my commander.

I should not drink three quarts of blue food coloring before a urine test.

The following items do not exist: Keys to the Drop Zone, A box of grid squares, blinker fluid, winter air for tires, canopy lights, or Chem-Light batteries.

'A full magazine and some privacy' is not the way to help a potential suicide.

Shouldn't take incriminating photos of my chain of command.

Shouldn't use Photoshop to create incriminating photos of my chain of command.

NEVER nail a stuffed bunny to a cross and put it up in front of the Battalion Headquarters sign as an "Easter Desecration."

1. Depending on which magazine, it might indeed help a potential suicide. Especially if Hugh Hefner is involved.

2. The evil clowns are invisible.


Life is just one damned thing after another.
Love is just two damned things after each other.

Skippy? by cam (3.00 / 0) #4 Thu Jan 29, 2004 at 01:38:56 PM EST
The bush kangaroo? Skips (genus Skippy) is what the Greek Australians called the Anglo-Australians in the 1990's in Sydney. A bit of a backlash against Anglo-Australians calling Greek-Australians and Italian-Australian wogs. There was a funny show on TV called "Acroplis Now" that was a cafe runs by Greeks. Their send up of the Australian stereotype was a dumb white country Australian from Forbes, Muswellbrook or Tathra, or somewhere like that and called 'skip'.

That nailing a real bunny to a cross is OK?

Send the LT to the commo shop for some squelch oil.

I love that one.
