In the early 1950's when I was dragged into the RAF (National Service) we lined up for the MO both arms outstretched and BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG four jabs one in each upper arm and one in each forearm. We had no idea what they were,( still don't) and you did not ask!! Some of the big "Toughies" were spark out on the floor after the guy in front of them, got his.
Later in the same week we were doubling round a small hut wearing gas masks while the place filled with Tear Gas. When we were breathing heavily from the trotting round we were ordered to remove , the gas masks and carry on as long as possible, which was not very long. Those who could still breathe dragged out those. who could not.
Three Covid and a flu jab, "Piece of Cake".
Mind you, I've often wondered why I'm only three feet two inches tall, can't breathe properly and have a morbid fear of Nissen Huts. Apart from that I'm perfectly...........Can't think of the word, but at least I've not got flu nor Covid 19 (sounds far less threatening than "Corrona Virus, does'nt it) And in the "First Book of Pessimists, Ch 1 Vrs 1" "Blessed is he who expecteth the worst, for him shall I not disappoint" says it all really. ( What on earth has this got to do with Fiat Pandas!)
