“Hehe, Stikmon didn't read the whole thread. That one is as old as the Vikings.”

“Hey, look everyone! There's Biz!”

“"I won't need that."

"That's not too heavy."

"Are you sure you can carry that?" - You end up carrying it for them in the end.

"Yeah, it's at the bottom of my pack." but not really.

"I'm an expert navigator."

"What do you mean you can't keep a straight course by shooting an azimuth at the moon?" - This was an actual statement from a soldier while on a night movement. We were sooooo lost. :)

"That log'll hold."

"It's not poisonous."

"Bees won't bother you if you don't bother them."

"Just put this end in here."

"I can fix it."

"Oops. What do you mean, oops?"

"Does this light work?" as they shine it in your eyes.

"Does this hurt?"

"That looks bad."

"You go first."

"You're sure we can get out of here?"

"Why are we out here?"

"I had KP yesterday!"

"They won't really leave us out here, will they?"

"That's edible?"

"How could we be out of fuel?!"

"Is this hole deep enough?"

"You carry it."

and the creme de le creme....

"This poncho is the BEST!"”

“They mostly come out at night. Mostly.”

“Careful, those rocks are slicker than a bull's d!ck.”

“My sister and I--our favorite--
I put it right on top”

“Has anyone over-hydrated?”

“Rain??? Heck, I was born wet.”

“Rain... Liquid Sunshine!”

“all you can eat”
