good advice

Post by peter rafter »

David Nobbs - he of "Reginald Perrin" and "A bit of Do" fame recounts his early posting in Germany as a national service recruit and his first encounter with the RSM ( Regimental Seargent Major -- a figure to be feared & obeyed , but who also occasionally showed human lapses) -

RSM spoke to me
"SEX"
"The frauleins ere is not always as clean as our lot is an i dont want you to go to the red light district!

How will you know how not to go to the red light district?

Do not go on the number 18 bus!

If you do go on the nubmber 18 bus do not get off at the first stop after the railway bridge!

Do not go into the 3rd house on the left!

If you feels "urges"---an even I feels urges----go to the athletic track and run the 880 yards!
I
If its a bad urge --run the mile!

during the next year he recalls he ran many miles!
