One of my chums was shot down over Vukovar and ejected, which he considered a potential problem because his name apparently identified him as ethnically Croat, so if he'd been captured he'd have died very, very slowly and messily. So he hid in a bush until an old man came along on a bicycle, stabbed him, then pedalled home. How he used to chuckle when he told that story! Top bantz indeed.

Until the maniac actually *does* something
