Aaaaaah, the simple joy of viewing the world through beer goggles. Now as to your vote for 'Per Dementia Ad Astra' as our motto: In the sober light of day I must confess I like it much better. I can order up another case of letterhead and ring up the foundry to inform them of the alterations. In for a penny, in for a pound, I say. . Quote
+Dej Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Ah, I think I came back from a visit to the gents and thought we were still laughing at the story of the military policeman,the rubber duck and the forty foot ladder. But now you explain it, the madness appeals... Quote

'Gawd! It's good to know I'm not the only one who does those sorts of things Dej. The other afternoon I made note of the fact that the clouds rolling in from the northwest would provide perfect cover for a dusk raid on the railyards at Roubaix and that I should ring up the field and have them ready the buses.

Dej, since you made mention of the criteria for joining this highly questionable organization, I respectfully ask that you draft our membership charter for approval of the founding members.

+Olham Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 "Per dementia ad astra" is perfectly fine - and as we just talk about it: does anyone know where my German uniform went? The military police wouldn't give me any further explanations than that they had to arrest me, cause I had tried to infiltrate a women's sauna. Back on the German side, I received very strange looks, cause I was only wearing that swimming suit with the stitched-on words: "By Appointment of Her Majesty Queen Victoria". I will keep it, although I woudn't wear it in public anymore. Quote
