To all:
I had an old boss who was famed for making colorful quotes. Once in a meeting, in frustration, he said: "Look. If you see a snake, kill it. Don't form a committee on snakes".
When I was at basic training (Army) we had a kid from Puerto Rico who spoke very poor, broken english. Each morning one of us had to deliver the safety briefing to the platoon before we headed out for training. When it was his turn he messed up lines and said "if you see a snake, don't panic, drink water"
"drink water" was supposed to be a separate sentence, joined with "stay hydrated".
For the rest of basic training every so often someone would yell "snake" and we'd all scramble for our canteens.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.
