Amusing Sayings
Back in the 80s in our design office at Wyton we had a couple of Ex Avro chaps from Woodford. one had worked on the Anson amongst other things. He was scruffy git. We would occasionally go to the mess for lunch. On the menu would be "Soup of the day - Cream of Reg's tie".
Not sure if it is an age thing but life was more fun in those days. You took it and dished it out. We had the section sacrificial pillock. In the main we all got on and made some good friends.

I was brought up with a variation of that (and I suspect there are many) ...
If it moves salute it.
If it doesn't move, pick it up.
If you can't pick it up, paint it.

'So ******, why are you so fat?'
'Because every time I make love to your wife she gives me a biscuit!'
(Can't remember who said to who)

More cricket.
Javed Miandad (iirc) to Merv Hughes "You look like a fat bus conductor".
Next ball, clean bowled, stumps in all directions, Merv to Javed "Tickets please!"

Sorry - I know I've been posting a lot tonight but had to share this.
Son has just returned from a week with the RAAF Air-Cadets in Townsville.
One of the squadrons there has a mascot - a wedgetail eagle with the rank of Warrant officer - so the bird gets called sir.
He got demoted to Corporal a while back tho - cos he shat on the parade ground.

Whilst sitting on the pan a Basra some colleagues said...
"Here comes Tomahawk!"
"why do you call him that."
"you can see him coming, but there f@@k all you can do about it!"
"I can beat that. We used to have a boss called paveway..... we had to follow him building bridges"
and the classic parade ground saying!!
Drill Sgt leans in and places his stick on the shoulder of an airman in the second rank " there is a piece of sh*t on the end of this stick" the airman replies "Its not on this end!"
