Default Wives and sweethearts (may they never meet)

Being a single rat I derive great amusement from the many excuses you married types use to explain our illness- RATS- Rusty Army Truck Syndrome.

I can sympathise, as I once rolled up to my folks' place with a bofors in tow and deployed it on the lawn before they got home, my Dad- a retired Gunner himself was pleased as punch but Mum popped several gaskets- Boobie- what see-ment do we use on Mum main seals? That whole story will go in the longest recovery thread!

I just tell people its a disease that is less likely to kill me than the ones I would suffer from if I spent the same time, effort and money in a bar or a whorehouse!

Brad, if she is really pissed off you are welcome to hide it at my place... we can practice troop deployments and shoot tennis balls at the gliders that circle my fields looking for thermals.

I'll start cleaning up the guest room for you.... a month should be just about enough time to get the books and uniforms and parts and models and ....

Mike
