Troops drop alt

[Jochen]

The people at HQ told the Gurka leader that they would dropped from low flying planes. The Gurka leader asked how low and how fast. The answer was something like 1000ft travelling at 120 mph. The Gurka leader went back to confer with his men and then came back and asked if they could go lower, HQ suggested 800ft. Away the Gurka leader went and then came back and asked if the drop could be even lower. The commander at HQ asked how low and the Gurka leader said about 300ft. At this point the commander said "But at 300ft the parachutes won't have time to open properly" to which the Gurka replied "Parachutes? What parachutes?"

Kids today! Why can't they fetishize Fascist military hardware like normal people?

Ladysmith wants you forthwith to come to her relief
Burn your briefs you leave for France tonight
Carefully cut the straps of the booby-traps and set the captives free
But don't shoot 'til you see her big blue eyes
