Baa baa, rainbow sheep

[mburbank]

Actually, while commonly attributed to Churchill, the quote is from Churchill's assistant, Anthony Montague-Browne. Speciffically "The only traditions of the Royal Navy are rum, sodomy and the lash."

In addition to being proud of the wrong person, you missed the word 'royal'. He was speaking not of Navies in general, but paricularly of the British navy and it's uniquley English traditions.

I extended it to refer to your people in general, a stretch I didn't expect you would be able to make.
