    I’m cautiously optimistic.

      Unity is caustically optimistic.

        I would like to award you imaginary internet points for that one. Well played.

        Well, we can call this one early.

        Unity is optionally caustic?

        I’m still giggling over this 5 minutes after reading. Well played

    Is the phosphorus paste meant for regrowing Unity’s bones (because they’re usually in less-than-ideal condition once she removes them from their former owners) or for cooking dinner mil-spec style?

      I think that with a little chemistry, the items in one’s toiletry kit can easily be expected to do double duty.

        so there is chemistry between them!

      You must of had a better cook than some I had in the service.

        Cooks in the military are wildly different in their competence.
        Most just slap stuff together and it’s hit or miss, but the really good ones take a mil-spec recipe and actually make it taste great.
        How they accomplish this magic is quite beyond me.

          I know a guy who was a cook in the Vietnam era, and he could take SOS and add a few things, and have a decent meal. Guys actually wanted to go to chow when he was on duty.

            SOS is “creamed chipped beef on toast” for the uninitiated. The acronym manages to deride the taste and appearance of the creamed chipped beef and the texture of the toast.

            All depends on who made it. I love homemade SOS (not to mention the Southern variation – biscuits and gravy), but I’ve heard horror stories from people in the Army, where it lived up to the acronym.

            In the Royal Navy (my friend Paddy the ex-RN cook tells me), something similar is known as “s**t on a raft.” The semi-pureed meat component (which often includes kidneys) is held on the ‘raft’ of toast by mashed potato gunwhales (that’s ‘walls’ to non-mariners)

            To both his knowledge and my own (being what Americans call an army brat – shame this isn’t really a recognized “thing” in the UK) British military cooks are generally trained to a high standard, and much in demand by civilian employers. They do, after all, have to be able to cater for Officers Messes, which routinely host important people up to and including royalty.

    Even though there’s some love,
    Sometimes it’s a terrible waste.
    They’ll know something’s gone wrong,
    ‘Cause she used some phosphorous paste.

    She knows the moment isn’t right
    For fancy anatomical pain.
    That her lover isn’t bright,
    And confess she’s lightened out in the brains.

    But when that’s how she feels,
    Then it’s the worst feeling she’s ever shown.
    It’s moisturizingly real…
    Leaves a tender moment unknown.

      I’m afraid to spread the paste by clapping, so I’ll just bow.

    The future is looking just a little brighter – and not just because U.N.I.T.Y. now glows in the dark.

      And occasionally in the light, if she gets close to any open flames.

    Just picture Unity when she gets back to the office and sees Moustachio…

    “Why, Unity, Dear, you’re positively glowing!”

    “Yeah! That’s because me’n Babe are finally dating! ….Or it could just be the phosphorus paste.”
