Forque de Tung

I've had a copy of Rick Jolly's 'In Confidence' for some years now and it still has me falling about laughing every time I read it. (He also wrote 'The Red and Green Life Machine', the story of the Ajax Bay field hospital he ran during the Falklands war.)
More examples:

Corporal N is a model Royal Marine. Unfortunately he is not a working model.

One suspects there are a couple of cogs missing from the Adjutant's intellectual gearbox.

If a mosquito bit my Marine Engineer Officer it would probably die of alcohol poisoning.

If ignorance really is bliss, then Officer Cadet F is the world's happiest person.

It's a brilliant book from cover to cover.
