came from a good family wrote to me. This. lady is a
novice and will become a nun. In her convent cell she
has a picture of me that she had picl{ed up somewhere.
And then one day something bad happened: the abbess
came into the cell and saw the picture. The novice
received a severe reprimand and was told that prospective
nuns should not have pictures of men hanging in
~heir cells ~ not even when these men are well-l{nown
fighter pilots. The novice, therefore, had to remove the
picture. But ... she did something that perhaps flatters
if not misrepresents me. She wrote to a friend who was
already a nun and asl{ed her to send a large photograph
of herself. The friend did that. Then the poor girl cut
out the face of th~ photograph and stucl{ my face under
the nun's habit.' "Peter Kilduff:the illustrated red baron"

Pardon the levity ... i know this may be callous of me !!!
But we seem to have an open and shut case of (German) nuns hanging pilots (masquerading as nuns?) in their cells! nothing in the rules of war to cover this situation, i guess, but if the kaiser had gotten wind of it, he would probably have had the nuns strung up... shall we open a new thread and call it the case of the "Hung Hun Nun".

have a good weekend, chaps and may the better men win the ashes!!!

To parody a funny quote from theBiggles movie:

Religious transvestite erotic asphyxia in the dungeon. That's not even in the book!

Quote:

Don't tell me the Kaiser was also into bondage...

These Germans were twisted!

Not even if they are well hung? :P

I am probably going to get an infraction from the moderator for this, but I am bored...
