Eddie:
Hey, my Great Uncle was in the Great War
Richie:
What do mean 'Great War', there aren't any great wars, they're all frightful
Eddie:
Alright he was in the crap war!
Richie:
Wow! The crap war! Far out! Which side was he on?
Eddie:
Both
Richie:
Wow!
Eddie:
Well it depended on which diretion he was facing at the time y'know. Had an incy wincy little bit of a drink problem. He took out a machine-gun nest single-handly!
Richie:
Did he?
Eddie:
But they made him bring it back, he was trying to flog it to the Germans
Richie:
Hey, wasn't he the last bloke shot before the Armistace?
Eddie:
Yes, that's right. Just fired off a few rounds in celebration but... stupid twat had his gun the wrong way round. Oh, they don't make 'em like Great Uncle Susan anymore.
Richie:
That's marvellous stuff Eddie, but, what the fuck's it got to do with anything?
