masterblaster72 0 #1 March 2, 2007 Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein Tiny, Tiny Liechtenstein... ...was invaded last night, by Switzerland! http://www.comcast.net/news/strange/index.jsp?cat=STRANGE&fn=/2007/03/02/600454.html QuoteWhat began as a routine training exercise almost ended in an embarrassing diplomatic incident after a company of Swiss soldiers got lost at night and marched into neighboring Liechtenstein. This will probably go down as the lamest almost-war in history. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

masterblaster72 0 #6 March 2, 2007 QuoteWasn't that the plot to the Bill Murray movie "Stripes?" "Lighten up, Francis!" Definitely has its parallels, but this is even funnier IMO -- troops with empty guns accidentally invading a country with no army. Only real life could make up such a story -- classic! Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whoops! You guys weren't actually supposed to WIN, you know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whoops! You guys weren't actually supposed to WIN, you know. I just watched it a couple days ago. Great premise, but the humor was so in-your-face that I didn't care for it. It could use a script re-write with more subtle humor."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.
