I'm celebrated as a hero in Britain for stealing the Fuhrer's own chicken, one of the most highly sought-after prizes of the war. Now knighted Sir Crazy, I travel the world with my companion, an illustrious writer by the name of 'Asparagus' Robert Whitney the XXXVII.
You're...crazy! I love you!!!1  I'm coming with you. You even like pink floyd
Ahhh, to be an RAF pilot | | |
