| At random: There are more airplanes at the bottom of the ocean than there are submarines in the sky; therefore I chose submarines over aviation. |

If found this version on a Royal Marine Website and it attributes it to a "WREN" but there is a ? so they don't know either. Nice quote, however Cheers, What Is a Bootneck !? Between the security of childhood and the insecurity of manhood, we find a fascinating species of humans called “BOOTNECKS”. They come in all shapes and sizes. In trucks. In boats. In various barracks. In love and always in debt. Girls love them. Towns tolerate them and the Government supports them - Just. A “BOOTNECK” is sharp with a pack of cards. Deadly with a set of darts and protector of the earth on half a dozen pints. He has the speed of a striking slug - the slyness of a fox - the brains of a rocking horse and the stories of a sea captain. He has the sincerity of a born liar and the aspirations of Casanova. Some of his interests are girls, woman, females, dames, birds, the opposite sex and spending other peoples money.!!! His dislikes are answering letters, wearing uniform, provost Sergeants, BFT, the RSM and reveille. No one else could cram into one pocket - a crumpled ID card, a packet of crushed cigarettes, a picture of his (or an oppo’s) girlfriend(s), a comb, a bottle opener, an old leave pass and what’s left of last months pay. He likes spending money on beer, sometimes on girls, some on horses, some on football pools and the rest... foolishly. A “BOOTNECK” is a magical creature. You can scratch him off your nominal roll - but never off your mind. He is your one and only hairy arsed, good for nothing bundle of worries. But all your shattered dreams come whole again, when he comes staggering home - looks at you with those big bloodshot eyes and simply says..“Hello love Gis a go of your body” By a WREN?  | ||
