The Americans didn't know about "Where's Wally", they played "Where's Bruce" instead.

2nd Lt Johnson often wondered why they named his aircraft 'Mr Magoo'

Johnson's record was somewhat unusual, 19 Bijin and only 1 Backpacker.

Well it was like the Little Bighorn, bad guys circling the good guys, so I aimed for the middle and took all the bad guys out.

To paraphrase Nutty, I'm ending my quickie....

Runner up, Shytorque with
"Yeh, sorry about the one in the middle...but a kill is a kill!"
But the winner of the quickie is Treadigraph with the Capt. Obvious award, but still funny...
Hell, his Boomerang certainly won't come back now!

Aw thanks Buster! As the previous, previous winner, may I throw it open or perhaps Racedo has something up his sleeve now...
