While loading the buses in battalion lines to make the drive to Trenton for our tour, the CO walked around to see us all off and give us some last-minute motivation.
Upon seeing the Intelligence Officer was on our bus, he said "[Name], when we get over there, make sure you tell me where all those Taliban are".
The entire bus roared into gallows-humour laughter with the Int O's response: "Don't worry Sir, they'll find us".

"What sex was that sand flea?”
“Female, Sir!”
(After close examination), “Nope, wrong one!”

When asked how you can tell if an RPG is unloaded and safe:
"Well you can usually tell if it's loaded because there's a big f**king rocket sticking out of it"
-WO Frightening
Riding in a pick-up to go locate some lost kit, our Sgt. turns on some 90s dance music.
"I guess you kids haven't even heard this stuff before. Came out in 1990. How old were you in 1990 Sheppard?" "1 year old Sgt" "Oh my god my back hurts."
First day of course, Sgt is telling us how everything works, has slipped a few f bombs already, and realizes it, asks if anybody minds that he's swearing because he's not supposed to. "If you do just come talk to me about it after and we can hug, hold hands, sing koom-bye-yah and I'll $#!+ you a flower."

The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on. - Robert Bloch
Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling.
“Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea.
Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.”

Can't be bothered to look up the exact quotes tonight.
But, Lady Astor also made the D-Day Dodgers crack. They sang it to "Lili Marlene":
"Now Lady Astor, get a load of this.
Don't stand up on a platform and talk a load of piss.
You're the nation's sweetheart, the nation's pride
We think your mouth's too bloody wide.
We are the D-Day Dodgers, in Sunny Italy."
Also she, supposedly, told Sir Winston he was drunk. To which he replied something like, "Yes, I am. But, in the morning I will be sober, but you will still be ugly."
Even if he was loaded to the gills, he still did a good job during the war.
I hope I got that right?!
