As the name of the thread suggests, good stories but probably not true. Others must have them but I'll start.
A young trooper working with the regimental chippy as a dogs body. The Carpenter tells him that his chainsaw is kaput and that he needs to get the o.k. for a new one. Now he gives the youngster the dead chainsaw and a sealed envelope, with what he says is the correct piece of paperwork in it. Only the Squadron Corporal Major can sign this piece of paper, so the envelope has to be taken to the SCM at his office along with the machine to prove it's a gonner . So off goes the trooper, happy as Larry. He knocks on the office door, enters when told, stands to attention and hands over the envelope. The SCM hits the roof! screaming at the trooper he has him marched to the guard room and locked up. Only after he has been lock away does anyone bother to tell him that inside the envelope was a note which read "Give me all your money you b@@@@@d or I'll chop your f@@@@@g desk in half".
