The Royal Marine's, The Parachute Regiment and the Police decide to go on a survival exercise together to see who comes out on top.
After some basic training the DS tells them their next objective is to go doen to the wood and catch a rabbit for their supper, returning with it ready to skin and cook.
[night start's to fall]
First up- the Marine's, having drawn all the required store's, prep'ed their order of march, attended a well excecuted set of order's; set off in formation for the woods. Once in the wood's their was absolute silence, only broken 15minutes later by a 'phut-phut'.
They emerged with a large rabbit shot clenly between the eye's.
'Excellent' remarks the DS.
Next up- The Para's, finish their can's of larger, smear themselves with cam cream, fix bayonet's and charge down into the wood's screaming at the top of their lung's. For the next hour the woods ring with the soundof rifle fire, machine gun fire, hand-grenades, mortar stomp's and blood curdling war cries. Eventualy they emerge, carrying the charred remains of a rabbit.
'Bit messy, but you achieved the aim' say's the DS
Lastly- in goes the Copper's, walking slowly, hand's behind back's whistling the Dixon of Dock Green tune. For the next few hour's, the silence is only broken by the occasional crackle of a walkie talkie 'Sierra Lima Whisky Tango Mars Bar for Three, suspect headed straight for you...'. After what seem's like an eternity, they emerge escorting a squirrel in handcuffs.
'What the hell are you doing?' scream's the DS 'Take the squirrel back and get me a rabbit like i ordered you to five hour's ago.
So back they go. Minute's pass, minute's turning to hours, dawn start's to break and eventualy turn's to day and passes on throught night to the next morning. The DS and the other teams are awoken by the Copper's again escorting a handcuffed squirrel, now covered in bruises, one eye nearly shut.
'Are you taking the p*ss!!??' shreik's the DS, now seriously irrate. The Copper's team leader nudges the squirrel who speaks 'Alright, alright, I'm the Rabbit'
