Just the other day I was wondering when you were going to introduce Mutton from Heaven to IOTD.

I don't remember that, my bad.:o

That's the reason I went to become a qualified French military parachutist and wearing French wings on my uniform. Too many sheep walking around with an Italian military parachutist badge.

"Grandpa, what did you do during the war?"
"I had a very important and difficult job. Air support for the supply lines in Ethiopia." (Wife, from the kitchen)"You threw sheep out of an airplane, dear. Don't forget to tell him that part." "You...threw sheep...out of an airplane?" Grumble grumble "picky damn enlisteds..." grumble..."Don't look at me like that, kid--you got any idea how hard it is to get a sheep into a parachute harness?" |
Did they drop some Sangiovese grapes so that they could have a nice Chianti with their sheep livers?
Oh, and fava beans. |
Ground troops had difficulty keeping track of the sheep. They knew how many were going to be pushed out of the aircraft; but, when they tried to maintain accountability of those sheep in the air, the soldiers kept falling asleep.

To Mr. Sex O. Bon:
Sir, I applaud your audacity in relating that joke. Now go stand in the corner. |
