If only we could read the minds of the soldiers standing nearest to her when
she was there. I'd bet a year's pay every one of them would've capped her if
they were guaranteed no punishment for it.

I don't drink. Oftentimes, while here, I wish I did. It would make much of this
stuff make good sense, I think.

The word is German for 'horse apples'. I once asked some German friends, who use
the word 'bull****' as much as we do, with the same connotation, what would be a
German term or word with the same connotation. After some thought (not much
'cause we were probably very inebriated) they came up with 'Pferdeäpfel'.
