Operation Petticoat/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Log entry by Captain Sherman: "Sighted tanker, sank truck."
  • Some of the debris used to convince the USN destroyers that they weren't Japanese was some of the extra lingerie from the nurses. The look on face of the sailor who retrieved a bra was priceless.
    • Made the subject of a great line when the Sea Tiger finally reaches Darwin: "We may be pink and coming in by the grace of a woman's brassiere, but by God we're coming in!"
  • As the Sea Tigar lurches out of port, the native witch doctor they brought in to perform a blessing ceremony pulls of his mask, watches for a moment, shakes his head and comments "They'll never make it", speaking in American-accented English.
