Never apologize son, it's a sign of weakness

thanks I'll remember that.

G'day All, and Happy Easter.
LH I think those artillery rounds might be a bit too explosive for me. Maybe some port & a nibble of some dark chocolate will do the trick.
Most childish thing I've done recently? The one that comes to mind was when we stopped into the bakery after late night shopping to get a large meat pie for dinner. There was only one left, so considering I was quite lucky, I gratefully purchased it. There was a lady behind me who happened to also ask for a large meat pie, and was sadly informed that they had run out. I don't know quite what happened next, but this childish urge just came over me, as I was leaving the store I looked back and said "Nah, nah na nah nah". Carole was mortified, but couldn't stop gigling when we got in the car.

That is hilarious!

Oggy, there is another thread I started in General that asks "what makes you laugh out loud".....................

YOU - you just did!!

Avoid those artillery thing-a-ma jigs like the plague.

Takes just one and you are bouncing off the walls. I bet LH is laughing his head off.

Last time we let him pick DOTD!!

[RICHARD]

I have been avoiding the DOTD..

Fishermen blew up train

Russian fishermen accidentally blew up a train using dynamite they planned to use to help them catch fish.

Dynamite fishing is illegal in Russia but very popular as the blast stuns the fish, which then float to the surface and can be scooped from the water.

But the trio of anglers from Olenevod in eastern Russia were caught by police after the explosives went off inside a train from Vladivostok to Ussurisk.

The blast destroyed part of the carriage, but no passengers were hurt.

The newpaper said the Russkie cops did catch three fisherman!

Geeze, I pick a DOTD and the only people brave enough to try it are me, my wife, and a new victim ummm regular at the bar. Good thing I didn't drag out the Holy Grail from Germany!

Hey, Richard, when are you going to assume your duties as Barkeep? It gets rough here on the other side of the bar. Keeping the patrons in line can be an adventure!

[smokey the elder]

Do I dare ask?

[Lady's Human]

If you must.......

THe Holy Grail was the indoctrination to C Co 12th EN BN. Many other units had similar events, we just tended to be a tad sillier about it than most, which is somewhat scary, as combat engineers play with high explosives. To put it simply, and not get into the silliness that went into the actual event, the newbie went door to door in the barracks asking for a contribution to the "grail". The contribution was one shot of whatever hard liquor the person had in their room. (We had an allowance of one bottle of hard liquor and one 6 pack in our rooms) Once the victim had filled the "grail" the party began.

LH, I'll be your next victim-uh.next partaker of the Dotd! Maybe if I take it, I won't need cataract surgery!!

[Lady's Human]

David,

Don't worry. After a couple you won't have any worries about seeing!

Seriously, though, don't worry about the cataract surgery. My brother went through it a few years ago, and his sight wound up better than it was pre-cataract. He used to wear coke bottle lenses in both eyes, but post surgery he has a piece of glass instead of a lens in his glasses for the eye he had surgery on.

LH, my right eye is very blurry and it's like looking through a dirty pane of glass. I drive, read and basically see with my left eye. LH, I was wondering what would happen if you gave a DOTD to Orc??

[Lady's Human]

Give an artillery round to Orc? Hmmmm, with the warm weather he hasn't been needed much for the fre, whaddaya say we find out?!
Hey Orc, Try one o these!

(ducking)

“And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.”

Any Python fans out there?

[Lady's Human]

Zip, being that LOH gave me the complete Monty Python for a christmas present, and we have all the movies except "And Now For Something Completely Different" on the shelf....

You might say there are a few python fans in here

[RICHARD]

Give me two rounds.......

Then fire for effect.

David.

Piece of cake....

Zippy,

How apropo.....Easter, Hand greanade....BUNNY!!
