  1. In the Forces, back when we still had grenades, a friend from Trinity Bay threw one out of the bunker onto the range, and nothing happened. After we had waited almost the full half-hour required by Range Safety, the “dud” blew.

    The instructor looked at my friend:
    “Marsh, how come it’s always you?”

    “Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that, sarge,” replied my buddy, tapping his watch, “Newfie fuse functioned perfectly.”

  2. You never knew him. In the words of one of my favourite novelists:
    “If a dollar had looked him in the eyes, only about 60 cents would have stared back.”

    He was more a salt-of-the-earth type, and one of the best friends I ever had. But if there was a race between him and a stump I’d have bet on the stump for sheer stealth and cunning.
