Holy Spit !

[Garry Shipton (RIP)]

I have a drumming job tonight(funeral for a vet-ya right-the kind I really like) with a buddy piper,so I went out and bought a liquid shoe polish called-no pun intended to our down under brothers-Kiwi Honor Guard-High Gloss/ultra brilliant-instant SPIT shine-black,to shine my brouges(However you spell it-scottish shoes).
I put on two applications,using the old rotation method,now need sunglasses ,can see myself in the shiny glint.While doing the shine,thought back to when we'd get new boots from the Stores.1)steal a spoon. 2) Heat the damn spoon. 3) Apply spoon to the little bumps on the leather all over the DAMN boot. 4) Heat up the polish a little. 5) SPIT on both the damn boot and/or onto the Damn heated Nugget polish tin.Dream off into LaLa land while sitting there for three DAMN hours ON A SATURDAY NIGHT thinking where you could be-just because of Sunday morning inspection(They wanted to make sure everyone was back from you know what).Then the DAMN inspection by a OD(Officer of the Day) who has his own DAMN servant,then be told that you missed a spot-or it's not right on-whatever that damn well meant??
Rant over-OH by the way this stuff works.15 MINUTES !!!
