The Flagpole (1 Viewer)

[Martin Tabony]

Two infantrymen standing looking up at a flagpole debating how high it was, when along came a cavalryman, and, feeling sorry for them, he bent over and popped the pin so that he could lower it to the ground. He then measured the pole and said "twenty five feet", and then carried on his way. One infantryman then turned to the other and said "Bloody cavalry, I wanted to know how high it was, not how wide"!

A bit confused about this one.... Must be the cavalry's fault.

Clarification please?

The flagpole is the same length, whether pointing up or laying on the ground! As we all know it's never the cavalry's fault!

*chuckle*

I've heard a variation of that as a blonde joke, too.

 

[Martin Tabony]

Eh, blonde or infantry, same difference!^&grin

We make holes, very big holes, for you guys to trip in. They call us the King of the Battlefield. We are ARTILLERY! My battery has a rivalry with VF's cavalry troop (I can't really tell you what we say about each other on here; even my friends cringe). I actually get to ride on the gunner's seat on the 3" WWI field guns we tow around!

You'll have to get some pictures and measurements of the gun and limber. I'm not realy that up on guns, is it the same 3 incher that Texas A & M use? I made some figures of them including the gunners.

I believe that is the gun (3", model 1905?) except we have 3. Do you have a source for the model? I am looking for one. Also, We have ours set up a bit differently.

I made the figures for a company called The Little Band Man. I made the bands of various U.S. universities but a lot more for Texas A&M.
