MM>Try any NZSAS survival course for a fullish range of uses for said
MM>substance... especially if prone to pondering the meaning of life.

Thank you, I've been through some of our own survival courses, including
an intersting class on how to make a snow cave, with a self-made digging
tool.

You excrete a substance from your body, and while it's still warm and
pliable, you shape it into a trowel, and let it freeze.

And then wash you hands VERY thoroughly before eating. :-)

MM>Revenge can take interesting forms - at one exercise debrief I
MM>learnt that my unit's security had been probed throughout the
MM>establishment of its HQ in an old stable by SAS troopers who had
MM>crawled up an open field drain to lie listening within 10 feet of
MM>the ops board - and that all of them had been peed upon by ops
MM>staff in need of a quickie....

MM>Oh course, I apologised...

I would have said, "We knew they were there all the time.  Why do you
think so many of us had to pee?" :-)

By the way, am I the only one who noticed that the ventilator pipe for
Saddam's spider hole looked like a field latrine?

Made me wish I was still a company commander -- "First Sergeant, detail
two men to watch the exit hole while the rest of us use the latrine."
