Bathurst: The Tiki Review and Bar-B-Q now open nightly near the ice cream shop. Yes, I know. Not very authentic, but two of the female dancers are 6 months pregnant so the Dance of the Seven Virgins was out.

And you don't mean "practicing", right?
Scene from Love and Death. The Woody Allen character hooks up with some hot Russian Countess. After the action the room is torn up with clothes strewn all over and the furniture turned over. The fatigued couple are in bed with abundant afterglow.
Hot Russian Countess: That was fahntahhsteek!
Boris: I'm such a great lover because I practice a lot when I am alone.

Thanks for finding that. [:D]

HRC: How long has it been since you made love to a woman?
Boris: Hmm...what is today...Wednesday...............two years. [:D][:D]
My memory banks had been degraded by gamma rays over the years. They end up on the floor and the actual lines were:
Hot Russian Countess: You are the best lover I have ever had.
Boris: Yeah, well, I practice a lot when I am alone.

Did you fire Mao Tse DUNG from the Red Army leadership? His stats are awful - only thing he had going for him was ruthlessness - but then, why would he have a girlfriend named Ruth in China?

[font="Courier New"]Admiral Lord Sprior
Kandy House, Ceylon
My Dearest Spri;
While you away in <undisclosed secret location> I started Tenth AAF HQ and engineer aviation chaps from Rangpur toward Ledo. I also stood down the B-24's at Ledo to rest them.
In China, OSS had some intel an annoying commie by the name of Dung or some such thing. We sacked him and sent in Mr. Cartright from the Ponderosa along with his man-servant Hop Sing as translator and major domo. I think he will adapt well to army life, having lived out in the wilderness without women for some time. I suspect the PM will approve of the change.
Say, I hope it is OK but I started New Mexico toward Cape Town for repairs. She will be ready for your operation in Sumatra. Ramilles can leave Geraldton for Cape Town in about 5 d unless you want her to go to Ceylon. Pearl is busy and Sydney can't take vessels over 30,000 tons in drydock. No hope she can be ready for your op so I will release Maryland and Colorado after Darwin falls.

Given the shortage of equipment - especially vehicles - in that theatre, will the new leader bring his son Hoss for bomber towing duties?

My Dearest Manders,
Thank you so much for you kindest of missives, they are always such a treat to read.
I'm not sure who this Dung person is, unless you're referring to Hoo Flung Dung? He is currently attached to the 47th Field Kitchen Company of the Royal Catering Corps.
New Mexico is always welcome in Commonwealth dockyards, I hope the crew likes tea but I'm not sure they'll have the spare parts for the ice-cream machine.
Yours at room temperature,

I knew it! He was in jail and got bailed out, so now he is in hiding somewhere - a place where "room temperature" does not require the wearing of sweaters and long johns. And he's getting Hai too! Good thing Adm. Mandrake has a firm grip on things ... and on the game too! [;)]ORIGINAL: sprior
