Seeing the
Ribald Comments on CRs thread, I wonder whether anyone would care to share comments from line books around the Service(s)?
Some from the bunker-dwellers, all from memory since the Line Books have long since vanished (names changed to spare embarassment):
After reversing her car into a large lamp-post, Sarah was asked why she didn't notice it. She replied, "Oh, I was distracted by thoughts..."
John: "What's a 0040 squawk?"
Instructor: "That's a North Sea helicopter, John."
John: "Oh. What's it doing there?"
Instructor: "That's the North Sea, John."
After a PI that went awry (F3 "intercepts" HMS ILLUSTRIOUS): "Buchan, RAZOR... your BANDIT's a boat."
XO: "You said the consoles aren't serviceable. Why's that?"
Briefer: "Because they're f**ked, Sir."
Instructor: "What indications are there that an aircraft is having an emergency?"
Mike: "Will it be in the flight plan?"
Instructor: "Ask yourself, Mike, whether the captain of an aircraft will file in his flight plan that he intends to crash his plane in the middle of the North Sea?"
