Ah yes, I remember my Headmaster once saying. "Never use foul language or swear at
anyone, just say something like this:
I do believe,.... there is some dought as to your
mother's marital position when you were born....."
>From a Headmaster of a tiny boarding school near Dover.He was an Officer
in the British Army durring WWII and stepped on a "Bouncing Betty" Had the
guts to keep his foot on it, so all he lost was his leg....I can still remember
when he
met me at the train station in Dover when I was 16, I heard this funny squeak as
he walked up gracefully to meet me. I later found out that the squeak was the
prosthetic. This man could kick a football way farther than any of the kids. Think
about it.
Well at least it is Military content, so I'm half way there...
