How did that old WW2 yarn go again?
Oh yes; Apparently there was a base in En Zed shortly after the Yanks took Guadalcanal and the US Marines were R@Ring there, sharing the base with a NZ regiment. A Kiwi soldier went to see the Yank QM to see if any supplies had arrived for them.
"Got anything for us New Zealanders, Mate?"
"No Sir, all I got is this goddamn heap of boxes marked K1 W1 with a picture of a square ended chicken on them!!"

(the above story quoted from 'As you were', somewhere in the late 1940's)

You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

PS Austin Holed; Lighten up mate! It's all in good fun.
