ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake ************With the 425th King's Own Culinary Coy., 30 m east of Wyndham, April 20, 1942********** A young officer speaks to the last survivors of the defenders of Wyndham, 19 men in all. Lt.Uppington-Smyth: Lads, it's like this. The entire Kimberly is open to those Little Yellow Bastards. It is up to us to stop them. What I propose is that, as we are low on weapons and ammo, we build a trench and fill it with cooking fuel. Then, when the first Little Yellow Bastards cross over, we light the fuel and slaughter the group across the trench. Right, any questions? Soldier with apron: Lt., the Japs who get across the trench? Lt.Uppington-Smyth: Yes? Soldier with apron: Well, sir, I was just wondering what we were going to slaughter them with? Lt.Uppington-Smyth: Ah...yes...good question. Why..... with our espirt de corps. They will be terrified and will plunge back into the fire. Second soldier: Sir, I am curious. Lt.Uppington-Smyth: Yes, what is it, Hobson? Second soldier: Well, I was just wondering. Meaning no disrepect, sir, but are you sure you didn't get this from one of those shield and sandals movies? Ah ... Lt. Uppington-Smythe is another time traveller - on the loose from Burma and WWII(b) I see
