            < a bit like scalps >

       Today I was at an old friend's house 
       as he was replacing some flooring
       and needed help moving furniture 
       and there were these two berets 
       in a drawer and he said they had 
       belonged to some Russians who were 
       pretending to be Bulgarian advisors 
       in this African country where he had 
       worked security for an oil company 
       and the men who worked for him had 
       found out they were Russians and had 
       shot them and given him their hats 
       "a bit like scalps" he said.

This made me cry. I kid you not. I don't like doing that.
