Recently a group of Canadian Army Officers visited the US Northern Warfare
Training Center at Fort Greeley Alaska.
Discussion eventually got down to the nitty gritty when a young Captain asked
a grizzled senior instructor:
"What does the US Army use for chapped lips?"
"Moose droppings," the American answered, without changing his expression.
"How does that cure them?" the bemused Canadian pressed.
"Oh it doesn’t," the Arctic soldier chuckled, "But it sure
stops folks from licking them!"
