Trying to relocate it. (Probably in a Regtl History or in a Tofrek or NWF N & M reprint.) [2] Another improbable but true (?) story seen on the net ~ 15 yrs ago was about London at the height of WW II: There was this well, 'lady' dog marched up to the CO with a formal, duly filled in Offence Report. Punishment - "deprived of biscuits for one week " for being on ' friendly terms ' with a civilian pooch. ( Can't get the link now , but maybe on an old hard disk if I can connect it somehow. ) |

Didn't I read somewhere that the regimental goat of the Welsh Guards was reduced in rank for trying to have improper relations with a drummer, whilst on parade? Apparently in the presence of HRH the Queen too! So, Guardsmen no longer have to salute him, as he is no longer a Corporal. Or so the story went!
I suppose the mule story could be true, but it seems a bit improbable IMHO. Enquiries will be instituted. |

Well, eating humble pie here!
Here it is, apparently from the mule's mouth: http://www.columbiatribune.com/opinion/columnists/trick-to-keep-mules-from-braying-worked/article_1fd60e4c-0fe3-5d42-a40b-fc4c050c52e7.html I would add, in defence of my suspicions, and my not so kinf story, that this account does have the 'jack' braying with its tail immobilized, given sufficient incentive! |
