Just had to share.
Someone on FB posted one of those memes. "Where were you when Armstrong walked on the moon in '69?"
My dad replied "In a trench filling up with torrential rain on a blow up mattress which was floating me up closer to the tracer bullets looking very pretty zipping and whooshing ,the exploding r p g,s drawing lines across the night sky, parachute flares and I kept floating higher and into it all until I just rolled out.
And I thought, what the bloody hell am I doing here in this place"
