Just a little bit of true humour.
When I was 17 and got my call up papers when conscription was still around here in South Africa.
It read " 2 field Engineer Regiment, Bethlehem"
I turned to my Dad and said - Can you believe it? They are sending me to Israel for basic training.
He had a good laugh and then explained to me that there is a Bethlehem in the Orange Free State,South Africa as well. He still brings it up now and again at gatherings. :roll:
Cheers
