How low can you go? Let’s find out…

I’ve slept in a few odd places in my day, but this guy wins hands down.
.
.
Snuggled in between the nukes? Not my definition of comfy cozy.
.
.
From ten hours and a nap… to four? That can’t be healthy.
.
.
When it comes to nuclear weapons, I’d prefer the handlers be well rested and a bit more alert thank you.
.
.
Caffeinated jerky? Quick, share it with the submariners.
.
.
And we’re back.
.
.
I don’t know, from the look of that picture? I think I’d rather drown.
.
.
Anyone who has served in the military or been in close proximity to those who do… knows what bug juice is. The fact that it was used in a toilet is not a surprise.
.
.
His brain literally exploded. That’s mind blowing…

Aren’t you glad you follow my blog?

Clue me in here. I’ve been around servicemen for the past 40 years or so and have yet to see pigs or chickens tattooed on their feet. Point of fact… it’s bad luck to even say the word pig on a lobster boat. Seriously, the old school fisherman will light you up for that.

Mary Roach’s books are always interesting and bizarre, but above all? They’re educational. For instance I now know more about military penile injuries than I ever thought possible… and to be honest, more than I ever thought I’d need.

Buckle up boys, it’s about to get personal.
.
.
Men. It’s all about priorities.
.
.
One should always be polite when referencing another man’s dick.
( Funny side note- spellcheck changed dick to duck three times. I suppose either one works )
.
.
Transgender community to the rescue. Paving the way to dick reconstruction for decades. Huzzah!
.
.
That last sentence will be giving me bad dreams for months to come. No pun intended.
.
.
All joking aside, it’s a serious and very sad reality for soldiers facing today’s modern warfare. IEDs cause long lasting trauma, both physically and emotionally. The military can’t keep up.
.
.
It’s that time again…
.
.
Yes, I’ve found another delightfully quirky book written by Mary Roach…. and you know I have to share some tidbits. This time it’s about war. Not the soldiers, not the battles, but rather the science behind the support of it. Weapons, uniforms, experimental tactics etc., and trust me it gets bizarre quickly.
.
.
Ah, homophobia. Keeping men guessing in foxholes for generations.
.
.
This definitely warrants further investigation.
.
.
You can’t argue with that logic.
.
.
Isn’t history grand?
And in case you think the book doesn’t include weird and wonderful graphics –
