LOL, Sheri. Were they in uniform? Just curious. More likely bored than drunk. I've heard war - and much time spent in the military - can be a few minutes of sheer terror, followed by hours of boredom.

Thought I'd share a funny bit of history instead. While researching a cavalry unit I found an insane picture. Of a uniformed man standing on his head, with legs separated wide, in the shape of a V. A cavalry officer (circa 1910) is jumping his horse through the V of the other officer's legs. Crazy guys! They had to be drinking, didn't they? I looked for the picture again just now, and couldn't find it, although I found one very similar, along with a contemporary one of the same thing! <br /><br />Sheri Humphreyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253047017005814317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-74832819853615444692013-12-05T21:42:49.546-05:002013-12-05T21:42:49.546-05:00Oh, my goodness, Cathy!

When we went to Europe my husband's bags went elsewhere - so glad they weren't mine. We wanted to go somewhere nice while in France and the cabby sent us to this club that charged us $100's of dollar for a few bottles of wine (there was a group of us) and the girls were working girls which they thought we wanted lol. And I got extremely ill after eating in a castle because the wenches kept filling our glasses and we drank mead and weird food lol and I was young in my defense lol. And I lost a contact that night. It was a very long bus trip and flight home lol.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-72137782531386907112013-12-05T15:26:02.624-05:002013-12-05T15:26:02.624-05:00Awww, you're gonna make me cry.

Unlike my late husband, a German who spoke six languages, I'm not the best with them, but I give it a good try. Thinking I'd learned some simple phrases, we were at an outdoor restaurant, and I wanted to order in German so I ordered coffee and cake for the two of us. The waiter looked at my husband, my husband looked at me and said, "Congratulations, you just ordered coffee and a raw chicken. In perfect English, the waiter said, "I'll bring your order, ma'am." So, a few years later, we are living an idyllic life along the Adriatic coastline of Croatia when again, in an outdoor restaurant, I wanted to place the order in Croatian. Again, my husband looked at me and said, "Congratulations, you just ordered coffee and a prostitute. I live in Budapest now. I don't even try to order in this, the second most difficult language in the world to learn.Kathleen Bittner Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761002274808484634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-71020745617455681192013-12-05T14:04:38.695-05:002013-12-05T14:04:38.695-05:00Yeah, it was difficult taking one for the team on ...Yeah, it was difficult taking one for the team on that one, Tammy, but a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do.
