The lyrics we used to sing (indeed still do, depending on drink) for Quartermaster would contravene most of the posting rules.

Yes, we had some of those for when the Scoutmasters weren't around.

Being a Forces brat, and having spent all most of my Scouting time on base, we also had a pretty nasty version of "North Atlantic Squadron" in our repertoire. Only the first three lines are suitable for family consumption:

Away away with fife and drum
Here we come
we're full of rum

Hooray for new math,
New-hoo-hoo-math,
It won't do you a bit of good to review math.
It's so simple,
So very simple,
That only a child can do it!

We always got live shell fish,
My Mother would say “If the fish is dead
Then you get rid.” We lived in Nova Scotia
where it is always close to a sea coast.
As kids we would run stomping our feet
on the sand to make the clams spurt out
A bit of water, that would make a small
crater that allowed us to know where to
dig: After we got a bucket full, one of
my older brothers would build a fire
to boil up the shell fish for a nice feed.

believe me, you don't want me to aim first. I might hit the target.

YOUNG? well ok, since I was asked for ID when I bought my last lottery ticket, maybe I still look young.

I don't know why women worry about aim they should be worried about the lack of flush in their toilets

Why do trains always have a room set aside for WC? That comedian did years ago.

I hate rolling news. There's never enough stuff happening to justify having a 24-hour news channel. So they end up filling it with presenters talking about nothing at great length. A handy skill for a radio DJ, less useful from a news reporter.

Sky News are the worst offenders for this. When you're forced to keep saying "you're looking at footage that was recorded earlier", then you have run out of news!

The phrase "please refrain' was coined so passengers did not crap on the tracks when the train pulled into the station.
