Strike up the band.
Operation "Barmy Army" A smashing success!


So many know, England crushed India in cricket this year and I work with a lot of Indian engineers. So one engineer was really pissed off about about this and I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I told Mr. Buna about my situation and three weeks later a "Barmy Army" hat arrived in the post. The next day, I showed up at my engineering meeting sporting the hat.

(actual McBee:



So, the first engineer that noticed the hat asked me about the house.
I asked him what he knew about the hat?

His reply:" They're just a bunch of drunks who go to the matches!"

A hit!

Then later, our lead engineer asked me where I got the hat from?

McBee reply: Oh, you noticed the hat?

Another hit!


Finally, the person who I wanted to piss off finally commented on the hat:" Why do you keep wearing that smurfing hat?

McBee reply: Coz I know you love it!

We hit the jackpot!

Now I get comments as ; "What a cool hat, where did you get it from?" So I have to tell the hat story.

And the best part off the whole joke, I'm now on "Cricshop's" mailing list!

Thank you Jim for the hat and the laughs at work!
