Ok, ok--- so it's a US-centric joke, but it's awfully funny anyway.

Memory Hole:

(somebody's ) Raiders-- a wonderfully funny movie about a handful of neer-do-well army types at the latter part of WW II who discovered that the Third Reich had stashed a huge cache of gold bullion in a small town far behind German lines, and set out to get the gold.
Picture:
A Sherman tank, festooned with loudspeakers playing ear-splitting shit-kickin' hillbilly music as they ploughed through German lines and blasted their way into the bank with the Bullion. Truly funny- anyone remember the movie?

Useful talking follows experience, the more experience the better. Talking that precedes experience is known as bullshit.

Kelly's heroes,

Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland.

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

Right. Thanks, ceebs. The Donald Sutherland character was a hoot.
The above joke would make a great cartoon--wish I had that sort of talent.
