stupid III submissions

Come on then. Share the stupidest treble I forms you have seen that were supposed to improve the workplace.

The best one ive seen was a request to have rabbits and guinea pigs to keep the grass short on the 25m range. Interesting enough it was a sergeant who submitted the idea!

The mind boggles......

You need sheep for short grass. Much more effective. And you get moving targets. And the range NCO gets a full freezer at the end of the week. Winner.

Actually, one of our 25m ranges here near me uses
sheep to keep the grass down !

Not sure if any end up in the pot or not !!!

When a sheep gets hit by a mis-aimed GPMG on automatic, I've seen that there's very little left but woolly mince.

The wheel being re-invented every 2-3 years is a pretty stupid affair.

I used to shoot at a 25m range in Cobham, Surrey where the grass was kept down by dozens of rabbits. It was more than your life was worth to harm one. They didn't even flinch as the bullets whizzed inches above their ears. It could have been a massacre...

So, it seems your ridicule is poorly aimed.

Surely all that is needed is Hare Traffic Control?

Smart! An ATCO powered by rabbits instead of Briggs and Stratton...

I'll get my coat!

I always liked the submission of a tunnel under the runway to save queues at the lights to get to the southside....when dismissed for expense a request for a bridge was made instead
