Ah, decisions, decisions; frankly, you are all winners...

Honourable mention to Big Pistons:

A worthy Runner Up is Kiltrash:

The soldiers who hoped to avoid having to ski by sweeping all the snow into a huge pile are made into a public example.

----

They wanted to do downhill skiing instead, but the pile of snow they made wasn't big enough.

The General was promised a demonstration of cross-country skiing, and that's what the General is going to get.

Once a military requirement for soldiers to be able to walk on water had been identified, tests began, first on extremely shallow water. Since no one sank, the early tests were proclaimed a success, and £100m was granted for research using slightly deeper water.

Are you sure that this is how the FAA used to train Sea Harrier pilots?

With cloth applied to the undersides, they proved excellent for polishing Barrack Room floors. Another win for QinetiQ.
