bomb always hits the ground." - U.S. Air Force ammunition memo.
"If the enemy is in range, so are you." - Infantry Journal
"A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least
expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what's left of your
unit." - Army preventive maintenance publication
"Try to look unimportant; they may be low on ammo." - Infantry Journal
"Tracers work both ways." - U.S. Army Ordnance Corps memo.

"If you see a bomb disposal technician running, try to keep up with him." - U.S. Army ordnance manual
"It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed" - U.S. Air Force flight training manual
"If Darl McBride was in charge, he'd probably make marriage unconstitutional too, since clearly it de-emphasizes the commercial nature of normal human interaction, and probably is a major impediment to the commercial growth of prostitution."
-- Linus Torvalds, December 5th 2003.
(Darl McBride is CEO of The SCO Group)
this place sucks but don't tell anyone, it's our little secret, ok?
LOL... usually these 'funny but true' things aren't really true, but in this case, I think it really could be funny and true .

I think these quotes can very well be true. I mean, George Bush said stuff like
"I great deal of America's import comes from foreign countries" ...and that was in international tv...heh

"Baldrick, what are you doing?"
"I'm scratching my name on this bullet, sir."
"Why?"
"Well, you know they say, "somewhere out there, there's a bullet with your name on it."? Well I figure that if I own that bullet, then the chances of there being another bullet with my name on it are very small indeed."
LOL... I miss Black Adder. That was from BA, right?
