Crotch Durability Problem

Single stitch seams in a sensitive place Can make you look foolish – can make you lose face Single stitch seams – just what were we thinking With the strain on the job or material shrinking Believe it or not when in rough terrain Parts of the uniform are under some strain We wiggle and waddle and flop down on the ground These single stitch seams are a problem we found Is it rank related? – Well no body knows But we can’t go around with our privates exposed We must protect soldiers from their toes to their head So don’t send them out without needle and thread. So I sat down at lunch with the General today Who’s in charge of it all – he had this to say That story you read – let me just say it’s bogus They’ve been complaining ‘bout this since the soldiers wore togas To get wearing like that is all such a farce Why they must be sliding down mountains sitting just on their **** Or the uniform is so old or been blasted by sand I hate when these stories get so out of hand So don’t listen to those newsmen and the stories that they botch I tell you we’ve no problem when we're talking 'bout our crotch

I am imagining beefy soldiers sitting in line with a needle and thread as they prepare to go into battle. I dare say many a sock was darned in the liberation of Europe, nice one Mike....:)
