ONWARD, DREAMING SOLDIERS


It was 9.30 in the evening. The crew of three air force members decided to rest a little and within 15 minutes they were fast asleep. They awoke several hours later.

The only problem was that the room in which they were snoozing was the missile alert facility at Minot air force base in North Dakota. Directly beneath them was the control centre containing the keys that can launch ballistic missiles, and in their care were boxes containing codes that allow the nuclear button to be pressed.

Let's salute the soldiers who chose dreaming over destroying the planet.

YET MORE PROVERBS

Scissors or sand will save you a second.

If you don't do it, do it.

Unhinge the cliffs to make your butter sweeter.

An open casket will ruin your breakfast.

An arse well wiped is a feast fit for a king.

Judges deserve no mercy.

Bibles breed savage idiots.

If you are, you are not. If you are not, you are.
