Was it a berka shop?
OK, I’ll say it.
BORING!
We were on an exercises is France years ago and were to link up with another element at a location on the map. The translation from the map was something like Pig Woods.
When we got into the woods, after climbing a six foot wire fence, we noticed some little piggies back in the underbrush.
Our other element linked up with us just before dark and I showed my buddy a nice place to set up his stuff for the night - On a little foot path.
In the middle of the night we hear a blood curdling scream and “There's a pig in my hooch.” In the moon light we can see his poncho flapping up and down, grunts and squeals renting the air, little piggies running everywhere and him cursing a blue streak.
We were laughing so hard we had tears in our eyes. Momma and the babies had been walking down the game path and she went up under the poncho and stepped on him. He, of course jumped up and screamed, which caused her to try and jump up but was held down by the poncho and the fight was on.
He was still my friend in the morning.
