An officer spots a badly wounded fellow officer in the North African Desert (WWII). Oh, my god, let me help you, he says. I think I'm done for, is the response. The rejoinder: Smedley, for god's sake, don't end a sentence with a preposition!

That makes me proud! And I'm glad to report that the officer class is alive, well and has perfect grammar.

Glad you liked it, Cranborne. Brit humour is almost on the same plane as golf humour.

This was told to me as an example of British humour: American to Brit: "How do you achieve such beautiful lawns?" Brit: "Oh, it's really quite easy. You take a decent bit of sod and roll it once a day for 500 years."
Every American I told this to gave me a Duh look; every Brit I told it to, laughed until their gums bled. Wink

I'm not a complete man anymore.


You've lost both your arms as well.

I guess I'm as dumb as my 14 year old is beginning to think I am, put me firmly in the homer category.

OTOH I liked the preposition joke.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.
