Country:  | The barmaid was shocked to hear me ask for the double vodka straight. "Do you want anything else with that?!" - "Erm, yeah...another double vodka"

Barmaid: You want ice in the JD, Rich?
Me: Are you kidding?! Thats water!
Barmaid: Good point. You want to make it two?
People know me far too well

Country: | from what i've read if a navy plane lands on annother carrier, i.e. not it's own carrier, the crew of the carrier it visits cover it in messages to the crews of the plane's "home" carrier, this true??

Whenever a helicopter from another unit lands at our airfield we get some chalk and write some stuff on the bottom of there aircraft so they dont see it but everyone that looks up at them can read it. It is always something ridiculing them. It has also happened to us on some occasions.

Country: | When I was in the Reserves our planes had low vis flat gray paint jobs. Any grease on your hands would stain the paint, so these birds always looked like s#*t. I worked on the engines and would love to write in the two inboard engines nacelles so the pilots would see...
