"LOL. Sometimes it's spitballs and empty cans."


That remindeds me about a speech by Winston Churchill that I heard played on the radio in remembrance of his passing when I was a wee lad.

To quote less or more, We will fight them on the seas, on the beaches, in the air , with empty beer bottles, cause thats about all we have left, but we will fight them.

I make no warranty claims that I got the quote exactly right but that was the gist of it.

I would not be surprised that some one posts a link to that speech :-)
