Explain all those units anyway, (before I get to wondering if you were in the 113th Muff Police Unit). I'm curious what all you've been into.

Heck, Pete!! I decided to Google "Muff Police" and this is what showed up!!! :shock:

Coco the Clown, Iona Rann's only female clown, has finally been released by the police authorities in Muff. They say that they are actually seeking some other clown who has been stealing watches time-and-time again from the village's B&Bs. Coco, who rarely comes into Muff, was only helping the village's "Keep Our Streets Clean" Campaign when she was arrested (pictured) on the word of some petty snitch. She believes that more sinister powers are behind the highly publicized and embarrassing detention which saw her languishing for a period in Muff's dank and fetid prison. She believes that gender discrimination is at play as she is the only female clown in Donegal and she has courted controversy during her "Keep Our Streets Clean" Campaign. "Why would I want to steal a flipping watch from some oul biddy in a B&B?" she opined at her arraignment. Nevertheless, she had her bail denied.

It was only when the "Coco is Clean" Campaign began to grow within the island's gay community that her plight made national news headlines. Only then was her case reviewed and fast-tracked. Today, after over a fortnight behind bars, she was finally released.

Addressing hundreds of her supporters outside the courthouse, Coco showed that she would not allow snivelling prison authorities dampen her humour or hamper her life's work. "I would've thought that whine-ins owned the biggest clown house in Iona Rann, until I had to sit through that joke" she laughed, pointing at Muff's Petty Sessions.

I guess long gone are the days of "Free Willie"!!!!!! :lol:

Jon,

Holy crap, it's a wide world we live on!

Not the 'muff' I was thinking of!

I meant those things that keep your hands warm. :wink:

I was serious though, about your units, and interested to know what they are and what they-and-you did.

Now those MILFs are my kind of GIs!! In this case, the M can stand for Military. Are they part of the Million MILF March or is it just a MILF stampede?

Interesting photo Hev. Notice that the skirts are not all the same. Niether are the shoes. They must not enforce a strict dress code in the Ukrainian Army, at least for the women.

The New Ukrainian Army is a volunteer force now. Ukrain advertisements express how cool and fun it is to be in the new Contract Army. "Chicks really dig it. Join now."

Ukrainian Barbara Feldon?
Dialog:
Girl 1: Would you take us for a ride in your BMW?
BMW-driver: Even to the end of the world!
Soldier: Hey, I'd like some vodka, girls!
Girl 1: Just a second!
Girl 2: Where do you live?
Soldier: Right here. Daytime at work, and at night in the clubs!
Girl 1: Which work???
Soldier: Contract of course!
Blonde girl: Contract?? Marriage contract or what?
Girl 3: Army contract, stupid!
BMW driver: Hey, don't you wanna ride in my car?
girls: Forget it. Take yourself for a ride!
Narrator: It's about time for new heroes! With contract based service in the Ukrainian armed forces!
