As dueling is now verboten, the new vogue is to acquire a scar on the calf from hunting boar. With a spear. Buck Knives make a German boar spear for that purpose. I understand it is not imported into the US. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Not a meme, but I just came across this in the book and I thought it was funny enough it needed to be shared. Most of these Marines were pink-cheeked lads just out of boot camp. At boot camp, for reasons known only to the Marines, the first thing they teach the recruits is how to inject a word rhyming with “duck,” with proper blasphemous modifiers and amplifying phrases, into every declarative statement they make, except when speaking to military superiors directly. It may be that this is done to safeguard the boys’ morals. Such language is apt to get you thrown out of any well-run whorehouse in the western world, and most of these lads are too young to be patronizing such places. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
