Hi, Jade,

1.) The Anvil Chorus is a wonderful piece of music from Il Trovatore by Verdi. Google it and you’ll probably recognize it immediately.

2) Name, rank, and serial number is the military answer to being interrogated by your captors. That’s all you have to give them.

Glad you had a few laughs on that bus ride!

Hi, Raymond,

I’m glad you enjoyed the scene of vaulting into the upper bunk. After all these years, I’m going to admit I stole it from a single scene in the movie THE GREAT ESCAPE. Mea culpa. It was worth the larceny.
