"Well I have a degree in geography"
The argument put forward by an officer on the sighting of an OP out in the field, (we had to move it after he left.)

"Moley, you've got eyes like a ****house rat...."
Recounted this some years later, to be met with the reply:
"Better than having eyes like a ratarsed ****...!"

Sir, If I call you a tw*t will I be in trouble?
Yes!
Sir, If I 'think' it, will I be in trouble?
Well, I guess not!
In that case Sir, I think you are a tw*t!

The general consensus in the leadership community was that he would suffer performance shortfalls which would even inhibit an attempt to facilitate alcoholic beverage actualisation even at venues at the products would normally be manufactured.

A diplomat is a man who can persuade his wife she would look fat in a mink coat
An atheist is a man who has no invisible means of support.
You cannot reason a person out of a position he did not reason himself into in the first place (for the Truthers out there...)

A philosopher is defined as a blind man in an unlit cellar at midnight searching for a black cat that isn’t there.
A theologian is identical in all respects save that he believes he has found the cat.
A lawyer, naturally, would smuggle the cat under his coat in order to brandish it theatrically when it best serves his purpose.
A scientist would accept the non-existence of the cat but be at pains to point out that its non-existence could only ever be assumed; never proven.
An engineer would briefly search for a cat and then employ his time more productively by constructing a superior cat replacement from the materials available in the cellar.
A soldier would shoot the cat to protect the liberty of the mouse, unless he was American in which case he would conduct a shock and awe campaign to win the heart and mind of the cat and (in the process) accidentally shoot the mouse.

From a flying report, "I was impressed by this mans averageness".
The many put downs for the newbie.....
"When I joined, Centurion was rank, not a tank".
"I was in Baghdad when you were in you dads bag".
"Pontius was going through aircrew selection".
"We didn't have numbers, we all knew each other".
"Where are you from? What's your mothers name? Just working out where I was posted 18 years ago!".
"How many hours? No, not your night hours, your total.......oh, sorry that was your total".
