The Mug and the Nail

BritinBritain

Per Ardua Ad Astra
We were issued nylon/plastic type mugs, each man would paint his name or a symbol on his mug. We would take it in turns to make the tea for the morning and afternoon tea breaks. One day it was my turn, I got a nail and using a long punch, nailed one mans mug to the table, I poured out the tea and called the men for their tea. One by one they came into the crew room taking their tea. My victim walked into the crew room, tried to take his mug and couldn't understand why it was stuck. He grabbed it with both hands and HEAVED. The nail pulled through the bottom of the mug, shot up and dumped the tea all over himself. The whole crew room erupted in laughter, my victim looked up and then ran at me, I ran out of the crew room laughing with my victim in hot pursuit, chasing me all over the yard. The CO poked his head out of his office and shouted, “IF YOU WANT TO KILL HIM, DO IT IN YOUR OWN TIME.”

My victim did get his revenge, he nailed my boots to the floor!
