My dad was in 3 para around the time of the suez crisis, I always pull his leg by saying "Paras are living proof s**t can fly" winds him up a treat.
Joking aside, British Paras are Top Notch

When I was in it was "Fools and bird s**t." To which we would respond with 'And the only thing that stays on the ground is chicken s**t." Or with a punch if it hadn't been said with a smile box; . para;

I don't know, Matzos. I can recall jumping out of a couple that should have been scrapped years ago and I was glad to be out of. :eek:
