You can skip to the end and leave a response. Pinging is currently not allowed.
sadly enough, the response conversation is one i’ve actually had. Goes hand in hand having a sgt. who had too much corps and not enough brains to balance it out.
Nearest I’ve come that is when I was on tour in the Green Zone. The store had “Aquired” a box of random crap which included a gel that one guy was sure they used in movies to set people on fire safely (wish I could remember the name of it). We were bored and I was talked into trying it out. After a couple of small experiments, I’d moved up to having my whole hand engulfed in flame when our QM (A Major from the Royal Marines) walked in with two American Officers (think one was Navy and the other Army). This is what followed:
US Officer “OH MY GOD! THAT MANS HAND’S ON FIRE!?”
QM “Cpl B, why’s your hand on fire?”
Me “Errrrr, shit’s n giggles Sir?”
QM “Carry on” Turn’s and leaves the office with the two other Officers.
As Officer’s went, he was pretty much unflappable. He didn’t even bap a eyelash when he walk into the store while I was presenting the concept of “Kitten Grenades” to my co-workers (I should point out that I like cats to much to tape a grenade to their ospring and throw them at something, I just found peoples reactions hilarious). I got asked if I was on medication alot for some reason. =)
Damn, I gotta stop reading this shit while drinking coffee. Good thing it was cooled a bit.
Yeah that sounds like what I would expect to hear from both groups of officers.
