Those Irish Guards will now be wholly unprepared when the enemy rains down upon them titty-twisters.
The titty-twisting will continue until morale improves, dammit!
Please tell me that Indian burns, pink bellies, noogies, and swirlies are still safe! My God, have they no respect for tradition?
What ever happened to 'drop and give me fifty', and 50 mile hikes?
Oh, wait. A British Sargent, and Irish Guards. Up the rebels!
Éirinn go Brách!
SGT Taylor sounds a proper asshole.
Ahem, in the UK it's spelt "arsehole."
"You can't handle the truth!"
Were any of the recruits that he gave titty-twisters women? Cause that just sounds like good clean fun.
