Merged Quotes and Sayings Thread; some useful, some junk

[Slim]

I remember while doing the light track portion of my recce crewman course in Gagetown in '90 we had a french sgt instructor who would crew command our vehicle while we were learing to drive the Lynx/113/577/548.

To this day I cannot remember ever being able to understand anything that he said to us, whether in the classroom or on the vehicle's IC, except the words "I am a French guy..." ???

Made for an interesting course...

One of the most memorable quotes for me had to be when i was in Kingston and a Fusilier I was working with said "An Ambush is killing and killing is fun "   at that point everyone in the room just stoped where they were to respond but who can respond to that when it just comes out of nowhere?


Pride is not fighting for your country but to be fearless in dying for your country :bullet:

A cpl from 3 RCR para (who was RSS for the queens own rifles from 00-04) was very fond of using Full Metal Jacket quotes, just coming from him they were funny. He also had a knack for making his own funny punishment lines
Cpl:  Troop if you don't stop pissing me off, I am going to staple your eyelids to your forehead, and kick you in the b@ll$ until you blink!

Also at cac this past summer a rather dim witted troop came to our CQ to get grid squares.  We all did a double take (including the Coy 2ic and CSM) and started laughing our asses off when we realized this kid was being serious (wonder how he passed his nav class).

"If brains were gasoline, you wouldn't have enough to power a motorcycle around the inside of a Cheerio."

"You have a head like a Lapplanders foreskin." (I remember that one distinctly, because my mom's family is from Lappland)

Heard on a Drill Square practicing for the Lilifontain Parade:

RSM:  "If you people cant tie a tie... (he ripped his tie off) go buy a CLIP ON LIKE MINE" !!!

I am sure every jaw in the regiment dropped to the ground and bounced......


Heard in the same Era:

SSM:  I don't care if you people can't do drill.  I can stay here all night.  My wife and kids hate me so I have no place to go.. I can stay here all night........

George... you might remember those occasions

Memories...

Remember those crazy sayings your instructors used to blurt out on BMQ, SQ?

You'd be at attention during morning inspection and the MCpl would say:

"Holly s**t troop! Your bed's got more wrinkles than my ass after I step out the bath tub!" or
"There's a pubic hair on your pillow. Why is there a pube hair on your pillow?!!! Are you shaving your pubes?!!!" or
"Who decided to leave a Brown Betty but forgot to flush!!!"

You know you are being jacked up but your too busy bitting your lips -- preventing you from bursting out laughing.

Please share your most memoral sayings. I did a google search but found nothing

I'm going to hi-jack this thread.

The BEST sayings I ever heard were from Sgt. Major Leclair, RCR, Battleschool in Petawawa

That man has to be known CF wide.  Any Leclair stories would be classic.

I.... fear the man so much, I'm not typing them out!!!
(and.. they're pretty obscene!)
