An officer of the Home Guard, one of whose jobs would be looking for parachutists in the event of an attempted invasion was told: "You want poachers. They're best. They move on velvet and they can almost bear silence." "Where can we get one?" he asked. Soon after, a man who applied to enlist, said: "In peace time, I'm a poacher." "But we can't have poachers," said the officer. "Who sent you along?" To his arr.azerr.er.t, the would-be recruit replied: "The police."
