The irony is many of their opponents *also* went to West Point.

Higher chance of it being Grocer, Dan Akroyd’s character. Martin Blank had too much class to take that shot while the bystander walked past.

This is the kind of kink-shaming that has folks afraid to ask for hair pulling or choking, and their parters afraid to offer it. Some of like to love and be loved hard. 😃

The best turkey sandwich has the entire Thanksgiving meal between two slices of sourdough. I’m talking turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing/stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, corn, sweet potatoes, carrots, *everything.* Gotta be sourdough because other bread is too wimpy.

The best games don’t penalize you for changing the difficulty up *or* down during gameplay. I used to play all my games on normal or harder, now I see the value in Easy and Story Mode. Games are supposed to be a respite from the stresses of real life, not to compound them.

The moral of the story is: if you just do things the way you’ve always done them, without understanding why you do things that way, you will wind up with invisible horses that waste your time, your energy, and your money.

The firm looked in older and older copies of the manual until they found that those two Soldiers were to hold the reins of the horses, so the horses wouldn’t bolt when the cannon was fired. They removed those two positions on every howitzer and saved that Army millions of dollars immediately.

The artillery men did not know, but showed that the distance from the gun and their distance apart was prescribed in their manual. The firm looked, and sure enough, “x paces apart, x paces from the base of the gun.” The firm asked for an older copy of the manual, and found the same instructions.

Just before the command to fire, these two Soldiers faced away from the direction of fire, walked a set number of steps, and stood a set distance apart. After the howitzer fired, they turned around and walked back to the base of the gun. The accounting firm asked what was their purpose.

The firm travelled to the royal artillery and watched them set up and fire their howitzers for training. On every gun, there were two Soldiers whose jobs were not immediately obvious. They helped lay in the guns, transport the ammunition, and then stood back while the loader armed the piece.

In Human Resources, two forms were found to be very similar, with one question on each form that wasn’t found on the other. Combining the forms saved pennies and minutes. As we all know, pennies make pounds and minutes make hours. Their real savings, however, came on the artillery gun line.

They tasked the firm with finding ways to cut costs across the Army. The firm hired consultants, processed all their background checks, and visited every single job and position in the Army with an eye toward efficiency. They made several small improvements that saved money here and there.

Definitely in the top ten albums of all time. No misses, all bangers.
