That's excellent. Great story. I don't want to sound cocky but I'm not sure which story to tell. :p There are quite a few good ones. Like the time when his Regiment "liberated" a brewery somewhere outside of Caen. Well naturally since they hadn't had a good pint in weeks they backed their water truck up under one of those HUGE barrels and filled her to the top. Well just as that was finished the Regimental CO decided to pay a visit to the conquering heroes. He was an uptight man and an old school leader. He started by telling them about what great lads they were, heroes, they were all going to get medals for their actions. Well he decided to propose a toast. So he walked over to the back of the water truck and put his foot up on the tail gate, grabbed a mug and opened the tap.
He was expecting water. Instead he got a mug full of the finest golden beer you'd ever seen and in his shock it flowed over like a volcano. Soon his rage was like a volcano as suddenly in a matter of seconds they went from being the finest lads he'd ever seen to being the stuff of such vulgar words taht I can't even begin to repeat it.
So in a vengeful voice he ordered "open all the taps". So here are all these mud covered soldiers that hadn't had leave since they got to Normandy. They stank, were wearing the same clothes that they shipped out in and had braved death for many long hours that day, and they had to stand there with parched lips watching hundreds of gallons of golden beer foam down a hill.
It doesn't end there though. After the CO left in a great huff a Private went to drive the truck away to get it refilled since the guy who had driven the truck and had filled the resevoir to begin with had suddenly vanished when the CO arrived.:rotfl:
But before the Private can even get a few metres the Seargent Major said "Hey! What do you think you're doing? Back that bastard up and fil'er up again!"
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
So long story short they all got proper smashed that night and in a matter of hours the truck was empty again.
