Thanks!
Day 4 Part 3:
Elephant!
Dest.: "Elephant!"
Leachy: " "
The elephants will tell the rest of the story...
Extract from the War diary of elephant assassination cell 1234: The plan was now hatched. As we saw the Kapoen approaching, and had identified the bald fool, we decided to play it cool and wait for them to stop, before killing them, as per instruction of Section Ranger leachy, in return for his promise of not revealing our group as being illegally in the country. Unfortunately our Colonel was not adhering to the plan...
Colonel Hathi: "Right! Let's go!"
Lieutenant Bagheera: "Wait! Baloo is stuck!"
Hathi: "What! Why!"
Baloo: "A slight technical problem! Go on without me! Save yourselves!"
Hathi: "Save ourselves from what!? To arms, man!!"
Lieutenant Bagheera: "Err...you know that broblem one sometimes gets when the bath water is running out and delicate parts get sucked in?"
Hathi: "No! Man up! I've taken the effort to cover my face, like the foul baboon! Onward!"
Baloo: "Go! I'll be there just now, and...Ooooh! "
As the attack is imminent...calm reigns aboard the Kapoen...only leachy seems strangely agitated...
RP: "Right! What a blissful scene!"
Dest. "Agreed!"
GvR: "Agreed!"
Leachy: "AGREED!!!"
RP: "By the way, Destroyer, I was meaning to ask...I hope you didn't eat the leftover chicken innards that lay next to the braai after our first night when you broke the glass basin? Your tummy is rumbling slightly..."
Dest. : "Err, no I didn't, maybe...possibly...but while we are stopped, I just want to get out quickly to check the...check the tyre pressure..."
GvR: "Are you saying there is something wrong with my vehicle!?"
Dest. : "Nonono...the pressure of other tyres, looking at tracks made by other vehicles, you see!"
RP: "Very Well! Exit the vehicle!"
Further down the riverbed:
Colonel Hathi: "Retreat! Retreat! Mustard Gas! "
Lieutenant Bagheerah: "No...Let's press on! I'll die for the....Oh my...!!"
Baloo: "My nothe ith blocked..."
Hathi: "It's Paschendale all over again!"
And this is possibly my favourite pic of the whole trip!:

You should'nt encourage me RP.
♫ Keep it up R - P - four, keep it up R -P - four. ♫
Oh the aim of our patrol,
is a TT rather droll.
For our drive is a thrill
over Baobab Hill,
is the Kapoen's main goal.
is the Kapoen's main goal.
♫ Rev it up R - P - four, rev it up R -P - four. ♫
By the looks of Leachy's smile,
they have covered many a mile.
Oh they stare in hush
at the far North bush,
in a one-off kind a style.
in a one-off kind a style.
♫ Rev it up R - P - four, rev it up R -P - four. ♫
