Urban Legend

For some reason, reading the John Carroll article in the previous post, reminded me of this apocryphal story of an argument between two old diggers at their local RSL:

"We didn't fight the bloody war so that bloody long-haired ratbag bloody protesters could march up and down with bloody banners and burn the bloody flag."

"Well, actually Jack, we did."

I wanted it to appear at the end of the Carroll post but Blogger wasn't having any of that.
