Happy Hump Day
When I was polling my faithful followers last week on possible replacements for my closing groaners, several people mentioned quotes. Well, it just so happens I have a few good quotes for the military minded I can share with you today. Not military minded? Okay, you get kitties.
'It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed.'
- US Air Force Manual -
'If the enemy is in range, so are you.'
- Infantry Journal-
'If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up to him.'
- Infantry Journal-
'You know that your landing gear is up and locked when it takes full power to taxi to the terminal.'
- Lead-in Fighter Training Manual -
'When one engine fails on a twin-engine airplane, you always have enough power left to get you to the scene of the crash.'
-Multi-Engine Training Manual
'Any ship can be a minesweeper. Once.'
- Naval Ops Manual -
And for your Hump Day "aw"...
You know you'd forgive him.
Hope there was a chuckle in there someplace for you. Just enough to get you over the hump and heading for the weekend.
Please say hi while you're here but forgive me if I'm a tad slow in responding. I have to go gut a house today. Seriously.
See you on Friday.

Grandparents can be quite tasty if you bring them to a boil and let simmer for twenty minutes.
Thanks for the laughs! Love the quotes. :)
I like the quotes! But I especially like the news headlines.
By the way, what kind of school advocates cooking and serving grandparents? Probably have to stew them a long time before they're edible. :)
LOL at the cat thumbs meme... have you seen that commercial where the man is eating cereal, and a gang of cats grows thumbs and figures out how to open the door and come inside? I forget what the commercial was for, but I nearly killed myself laughing.
Can't even pick a favorite - loved them all!
Happy gutting. I think.
As a military brat, I appreciate those!
LMAO! I'm still laughing! OMG! Can barely see to write this! Too funny!
Haha, love it :) The Twicat is my favorite :)
