And someone always finds an excuse to publish that disrespectful gross out shock poem.

A friend of mine enlisted in the Army in the mid-1960s and took Airborne training. Their theme song was called "He Ain't Gonna Jump No More". Oh...wait; The correct name is "Blood on the Risers". (AKA "Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die") The song ends with "he ain't gonna jump no more" after a graphic description of a crash from a 'chute malfunction. "Poured him from his boots" comes to mind. My friend delighted in singing it!

We woke to that song playing over the loudspeakers every morning during Jump school.
