Re: Random thought of the moment.
I was looking for something else to reply to Bravo's post, and finally found this. I've been referencing it for years...
RSM: Don't stand there gawping like you've never seen the Hand of
God before. Now! Today we're going to do marching up and down
the square. That is unless any of you got anything better to
do? Well, anyone got anything they'd rather be doing than
marching up and down the square?
[Atkinson puts his hand up.]
Yes? Atkinson? What would you rather be doing, Atkinson?
Atkinson: Well to be quite honest, Sarge, I'd rather be at home
with the wife and kids.
RSM: Would you now?
Atkinson: Yes, sarge.
RSM: Right off you go. [Atkinson goes.] Now, everybody else happy
with my little plan of marching up and down the square a bit?
Coles: Sarge...
RSM: Yes?
Coles: I've got a book I'd quite like to read...
RSM: Right! You go read your book then! [Coles runs off.] Now
everybody else quite content to join in with my little scheme
of marching hup and down the square?
Wycliff: Sarge?
RSM: Yes, Wycliff, what is it?
Wycliff: [tentatively] Well... I'm... er... learning the piano...
RSM: [with contempt] 'Learning the piano'?
Wycliff: Yes, sarge...
RSM: And I suppose you want to go and practise eh? Marching up and
down the square not good enough for you, eh?
Wycliff: Well...
RSM: Right! Off you go! [Turns to the rest.] Now what about the
rest of you? Rather be at the pictures I suppose.
Squad: Ooh, yes, ooh rather.
RSM: All right off you go. [They go.] Bloody army! I don't know
what it's coming to... Right, Sgt Major, marching up and down
the square... Left-right-left... left... left...
left-right-left...

barracks square.]

You looked after it like a son.
Man: [strangely] And it went wherever I did go.

It was a lovely little fish.

Woman: Oh fishy, fishy, fishy, fish.
Man: Fish, fish, fish, fishy oh!

Why is it that you're not allowed to use handicapped parking spaces but you're allowed to use handicapped toilets?

You can only use handicap toilets if you display a valid placard on your rear bumper.

A few funny things...
SGM- "LT, why do we give Chem lights to LT's?" (No moving parts and you have to break it to make it work).
LT- "SGM, you made all the way to E-9... why'd you stop? Quitter!"
SGM- I thought I mentioned you can't wear that knife on your belt?
LT- I thought you mentioned we are in a war zone?
