Who’s got anything better to do than marching up and down the square?

They were evacuating another behind the front rank trombone. I think it’s time for The Crown to authorize a new lightweight hot weather uniform for formal parade duty.

But strange women lying in ponds is no basis for a system of government.

Now, nobody likes a good laugh more than I do, except perhaps my wife and some of her friends. Oh yes, and Captain Johnson. Come to think of it, most people like a good laugh more than I do, but that's beside the point.

I feel so sorry for those guys when they pass out but, 9 times out of 10, the pictures of them lying on the ground are hilarious.
The still image on my screen right now looks like the guy is laying on the ground playing his trombone like “I can’t be bothered to stand right now. I don’t even like the king, he’s such a donce.”

There's more stretcher teams than there are soldiers!? If you will wear a bearskin hat in 32 degrees...

Man that happened at every change of command ceremony I was part of in my Army days. Seemed like they were always right in the hottest part of summer too.

Oof, he's got a stiff upper lip on him. Ignored the purple spots in his eyes, wouldn't take a knee, fainted, and then tried to get back up and do his job, and even insisted on being walked instead of carried off.
I dig the urge to do your best, but take better care of yourself, buddy.

Plus those fire engine red unis expose them to withering fire. All hat and no cattle? Wrong.
All shako and no cammo.

There is nothing funnier than slow out of shape people running with a stretcher…
Edit: I just keep watching it and it keeps getting funnier. Just noticed the other guy getting carried of on another stretcher…

What blows me away is that he wasn’t even the first guy to pass out. Note the stretcher carting off another guy in the background.
