BC - Man Day

I was welcomed to the mess tent this morning by an entourage of chest beating, ape-like armpit scratching and the distinct scent of testosterone…. As soon as the boys entered the mess tent they were asked whether they liked ‘cats or dogs’ and whether they preferred ‘Forrest Gump’ to ‘Spartacus’…. depending on their answers some were relegated to the adjacent tent. I prepared for the worst as I poured myself an extra-strong cup of coffee. I was informed by my 16 testosterone fuelled team mates that today is ‘Man Day’, a day dedicated to all things ‘Man’.
