Gen-Baron von Hammersteiner
Equord C-C,Reichswehr:

I divid my officers into four classes:
the clever
the lazy
the industrious
and the stupid.
Each officer posses at least two of these qualities.Those who are clever & industrious
are fitted for the highest staff appointments.

Use can be made of those who are stupid & lazy.
The man who is clever & lazy however,is for the
very highest command;he has the temperment &
the nerves to deal with all situations.
Whoever is stupid and industrious is a menace
and must be removed immediatly.

A reading from the Book of Armaments, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20:

Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, saying, "Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ... Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

From ShakeSpeare‘s Henry V:

Best speach I‘ve ever heard in my life.

(Henry)

"That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man‘s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
...skip...
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne‘er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;"

 

[Pikache]

"Think where man‘s glory most begins and ends,

Best quote ever, acting like a duck while sgt is saying " I don‘t hear any quackin‘ now say the line..."Quack Quack im a duck and im all ****ed up".

Which led to the later quote.

to funny...
