I was awakened late

one night by a phone

call from nearby

Fort Meade in Mary-

land, USA.

me: Hello?

caller: Is Sgt Rodri-

gues there?

me: Sorry, you have

the wrong number.

(Hang up. R-i-i-ing!)

caller: Sgt Rodrigues?

me:Still the wrong

number.

caller: Do you have

his right number?

There’s a post recall and

he has to go to work.

me:No, I don’t.

(Hang up. And ...)

second caller: Is

Sgt Rodrigues there?

me: No. There’s a

post recall and he

went to work.

caller: OK. Thanks.

In the ’50s, I was a

clerk typist at our

base headquarters

in Verdun, France.

We were a tough

group. How tough?

Our motto was ‘We

never retreat, we

just backspace’.

—Bill Robbins

“I can defend this hill for another hour, but

then I really need to get to the gym.”
