The end of the light, the start of the tunnel.

Interesting week.

Student goes amok, stabs professor, commits suicide.
Few days later, another student at another univesity found dead.
Last night, a third from the same school as the first is found dead, apparently by his own hand.

If this marks the start of perhaps a spree of violence in schools, well, thank goodness for strict laws banning guns. Think of Columbia, of Virginia Tech.

Back on the home front, or to be more accurate, the company line, things are a-changin'. Can't say it's for good or bad, it's early days still. To be short, let's just say that the old axiom is true: If it ain't broken, don't fix it. Or in our case, change it.

On positive note, there have been cheerful moments. Like celebrating birthdays!

Army celebrations tend to be a bit over-zealous. Well, of course, when you put a bunch of guys with raging hormones together for a week and force them to live like monks, the laws of physics state that the energy has to go somewhere.

How does one goes about celebrating? Look below...

1. Capture the guy and pin him down. If he knows what is coming and struggles violently, don't do it alone. Get at least 7 others to help out.
2. Drag him to the laundry area, dump pails of water on him, and when he is wet, pepper him with detergent.
3. Now of course our victim, looking like a walking snowman, needs to shower off. When he is in the cubicle, trap him there by dumping dirty water into the cubicle.
4. When he comes out of the shower, strip him.

Now here is the interesting part. What do you do if a naked fella? Read on...

We pinned him to the ground, not without some effort. Then attempted to rub a muscle ointment that, well, burns, onto the most sensitive part of the male anatomy.

Sad to say, we failed. He struggled too much. And well it would have been much too cruel. Any male understands that.

So we rubbed it up his butt crack instead, and spun him about on the floor.

No doubt the shortest, but the most hilarious birthday celebration I have ever seen.

  1. I am utterly flabbergasted. Please tell me that did not really happen.
