MY BOMBING
TIME-SAVING CIRCULAR FORM. When stories of “my bombing”„became as boring as “my operation,” a wit in England devised the following lime-saving circular form: — “My residence is situated in district, where the raid lasted hours. This period was spent in: House, prayer, shelter. My demeanour was: Cool, flustered absent My wife was: Cool, excited, confined, a damn nuisance My child (ren) was/were: Cheerful, doleful, frightful, in the North of Scotland. My house collapsed and the following were saved: Me, wife, child (ren), dog, canary, tortoise. The following were casualties: Mother-in-law. “I certify that I heard more guns, bombs and planes, was more seriously attacked and suffered generally to a greater extent than any other raidec.” These forms are handed round the office each morning.
