Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 That’s a good one, UB. The post made me think of this Kipling verse... When 'arf of your bullets fly wide in the ditch, Don't call your Martini a cross-eyed old bitch; She's human as you are -- you treat her as sich, An' she'll fight for the young British soldier. Fight, fight, fight for the soldier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
