Purple Squad

"Sir, Purple squad has been deployed to the field."

"Eh? Sorry Lieutenant Crossly. I'm still getting to grips with the platoon. Purple squad?"

"Yes sir."

Major Bernard Greene sighed heavily. "And why are they called purple squad?"

"Er, usually because there's lots of red and purple wobbly bits to clean up after they're finished sir."

"Purple wobbly bits..."

"Yes sir. It's an in-joke sir."

"There seems to be a lot of in-jokes around here Lieutenant."

"Yes sir. The squaddies are very humorous sir."

"Are there any other squad nicknames I should be aware of Lieutenant?"

Crossly Squirmed... "Maybe?"
