Quote of the Day by NortNork

[Hyacinth Bucket]

A special airlift of air conditioners and crates of bottled water would really be helpful to the troops.

I heard that they are not getting enough clean water to drink. The water, in addition to being warm, tastes like petrol because of seepage into the water supplies. This is why the troops ask their families back home to send them a lot of Kool-Aid to mask the awful taste.
