Ewen Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Paul returned home to his parents after nine months abroad. His parents threw a welcome home party and had invited loads of family and the neighbours too. There wasnt much food in so Paul and his dad suggested going down the local chinese takeaway. Great idea they all said, and Paul started taking down the orders, but as there were so many people, he abreviated the description of what they wanted. So 'sweet and sour king prawn balls with egg fried rice' became 'SSKP+EFG' and so on. The final list was as follows... 6-CS+SFR 2xSSKP+EFR 4+CC+P of C 3xSCS+R So off down the takeaway, Paul handed the list over to the chap serving. The chap studied the list, glanced slyly at Paul and said ' You are in the 1st Royal Tank Regiment, arnt you ?' He was right of course, but how did he know ?
