Sounds like a number of peeps need to go find less critical employment.
Wait!

Turn this into an unintelligible compendium!
The earth is wobbling in its orbit.

Reminds me of an incident here in the states about 10-15 years ago where (I think it was Natl. Guard) artillery was accidentally fired into a shopping center (Walmart?) parking lot.

Times eight makes for 1600 lbs of explosive.
We sent a hell of a lot of those to Israel for use in recent years.

“misdrops”. First time I’ve seen that form of the word, used here as a modified verb.

What’s South Korean for ‘whoopsie’?
Sum ting wong.
That sounds a little familiar too..
He needs to tell that to the Viet Cong and the NVA.
KOREAN Air Force...
It takes only 6 letters to clarify that it wasn’t the US Air Force.
DEI - It’s a killer!
