IS: I am sure this is one of Buck's from Paris Island that traveled to the Army where I saw it during Basic Training at Ft. Dix..I also saw it in VN...so it seems to travel well, and certainly would work in the Shetlands considering they were pawned by a King hundreds of years ago...

THOSE WHO WRITE UPON THESE WALLS
ROLL THEIR SHIT IN LITTLE BALLS

THOSE WHO READ THESE LINES OF WIT
EAT THOSE LITTLE BALL OF SHIT

I think this even predates Duncan Whitehead.

Perhaps they're looking for clean, but humourous ditties; I can't think of any

The nearest I can get is one I read as a boy in toilets at Dawlish Warren in Devon in 1973.

It went:

It's no use jumping on the seat,
The crabs in here can jump six feet.

And if you think that that is high,
Then go next door, the Buggers fly!


At that age I thought crabs were just small sea creatures! Also bear in mind that Dawlish Warren is a seaside village.

I thought it was funny anyway.

'Here I sit...
So broken hearted...
Came to shit....
But only farted!'

Hey Morse......Was never a Marine. Don't know how that rumor started. Regular Army here! Also went to basic at the sand mire called Ft. Dix. Can close my eyes and almost imagine I'm hearing the roar of F-4's taking off from McGuire AFB in the wee hours directly over my barracks. The roar actually cracked window glass!

Hey Grunt! Was there in Aug. '65...if you beat me there maybe it REALLY WAS YOU that wrote that!

I still remember my first night in barracks, still in civies..could hear a pin drop, and down the row of bunks comes this Black Brother voice...."When is Bob Hope comin'"....I still laugh about it to this day!

Yeah, when I first arrived the reception center, at about 3AM one morning, they issued us a stupid OD baseball cap, wool gloves, an empty duffel bag, and an olive drab trench coat as our official 'US Army uniform'. That's all we wore over our civvies for almost a week all the while walking around carrying a stupid limp duffel bag! It seems our 'lifer' NCO (an E-4 with 28 years in service) was once again drunk and AWOL and never took charge of our platoon!!!

I still smile about that screwup!

Buck: I guess since the Brits can talk about their silly "football" we can talk a little about our fun times.
They put me in charge of the platoon since I had been to military school, and had two years of ROTC, plus I was the oldest having volunteered at 25.

Our DI was a cool guy, but was NEVER THERE! I wound up marching the guys all over that forsaken place. We actually had a great time...I taught them the Marines Marching Manual, and the Oblique move and we marched into the parade ground one day and showed the other 3 platoons some of our shit...the DI's stood there with their mouths open...our guys really got into it...what else can you do when you're in a bad situation but beat the bastards at their own game! Went from there to Ft. Holibird in Maryland for 15 weeks for Military Intelligence School (sic), then on to Portland,Or, and finally to the Presidio in SF before finishing up the 3 years in Cholon, RSVN.

We had another DI in the Company that tried to commit suicide over a woman and wound up shooting himself in the leg....not a guy you wanted in your foxhole!

Bet you can still remember you SN and rattle it off at will! My dog tags are hanging on my 8 pt. buck in the writing den...may have to start wearing them again to remind me of "the good times" as we proceed into the AGE OF DARKNESS!

Here's one from a Brit,

Some come here
To sit and think
I come here
To shit and stink

Best Regards

I went into a public toilet a few months ago and someone had written on the wall "Deport all whiteys."

Underneath that, I wrote "Then who will pay your welfare checks?"

I was there again a few days later, and someone had written under that "The Jews."

I was beaten to the punch by a guy who had written underneath "They're white too, asshole."

Jman: I think twice to the same shitter is enough...don't be tappin' your feet in there now!

PS: did you catch the latet Obamanation: Emanuel taking over the Census, and appointing Bill Richardson to run it, and they have a pile of $$ in the stimulus to pay for "the census"...guess where all those unemployed ACORN workers are going????? "Chicago, Chicago a wonderful town........"

Emanuel.......That guy is scary!
