London Blitz sufferers had to recognise enemy versus friendly planes and wether to run for the bomb shelter or not. I think they even had flash cards.

It may be my puerile tendencies, but I was chuckling through this whole post, so I doubt I'd be able to hold up at all while looking through me nocs' and having someone mumbling about jizz nearby. <br /><br />It seems like an exceptionally tricky word when one might be describing some mating birds: <br />"Are those two Cowbirds going at it?"<br />"No, stupid, the jizz is all wrong."<br /><br />Now that's skill!Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-26772015719755311282012-06-28T06:58:40.048-07:002012-06-28T06:58:40.048-07:00It's true, I totally giggle at the mention of ...It's true, I totally giggle at the mention of jizz. But I thought it stood for general impression of size and shape or something like that making GISS the real word... Eh? Or did they come up with that silly acronym to justify using the word jizz?<br /><br />Thanks for the vireo help. This numero siete thing is making more sense now.
