Amusing Sayings
Maybe done before (I'm thick skinned), but recently heard here from a German exchange officer:
1. We have never won a war since the formation of the Luftwaffe.
and
2. He'd rather his sister worked in a brothel than have a brother in the 'airforce'.
There must be more (not necessarily German in origin) out there........

"What the f*ck was that?"
I remember dropping the pulley for the front winch point of a Vulcan engine change onto the head of someone standing on top of the engine supporting the weight of the winch. I saw it hit him and he went over like he'd been shot. He was bigger than me and I was in fear for my life, one of my mates said I was shaking like a $hitting dog, something that's always stuck in my mind!

Both for young whippersnappers:

"I was on the main gate when you were on cow and gate"
The former a particular favourite...

You don't have to walk over, you can run.
