Hi,
Following that George Patton quote I remembered an old story.
Here's the shortened version.
A man, out for a late night stroll decided to take a shorter route home through a cemetry. In the dark he failed to see the open grave and fell in. This was a big family sized grave, deep and wide.
He shouted for some time then tried to climb out, but the soil was too soft and the hole too deep. ''Oh well'' he said and settled into a corner with his coat over his head to stop the crumbs of soil getting to him. There he sat for some time until he heard drunken singing followed by a lot of loose soil and then a large thump.
The drunken man spent quite a while trying to climb out, cursing and shouting but with no luck. He had just about given up when from the other side of the grave a voice said ''you'll never get out of here buddy''.......
do you know? HE DID.
Roger
