Next Time, Try Holding The Grenade And Throwing The Pin. You Can’t Do Much Worse

Next Time, Try Holding The Grenade And Throwing The Pin. You Can’t Do Much Worse

I suppose the drill instructor is not in the panic business, so maybe his lack of panic shouldn’t seem so notable. But it does. To paraphrase Rudyard Kipling: If you can keep your head when all about you are trying to blow it off with a misthrown grenade, yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, and – which is more – you’ll be a man, my son!

(Thanks to that Borderline cross between Matisse and Audie Murphy, Casey Klahn, for sending that one along)

  1. Nice. I’m like, “honey! I’m the first Borderline Sociopathic Boy Blogged for the New Year!” So, she’s like, “why is that good?”

    The compliment is nice, too. Remember Audie Murphy said, “I didn’t ask for these stripes!” Matisse said, “I didn’t know I’d be painting stripes!”

    Thanks for writing/posting this wonderful blog, Sipp.

  4. The instructor did drag him down pretty hard which saved is too dumb head but he certainly was cool about it. If I haven’t mentioned it before have a wonderful and prosperous New Year. You deserve it.
