Rumours are that the Israeli Iron Dome anti-missile defence system is a dome made of particularly crusty Y fronts welded together and placed over Tel Aviv.

A question..........
If they are able to withstand nuclear attack is it possible to weld them :blush:

During the golden age of piracy, between 1650 & 1730, the crews of pirate ships were provided with free Y Fronts, but forbidden under the pirate code to wash them, they were then collected and thrown on to the deck of ships under attack, this would then clear the decks ensuring the pirates could safely board & ransack the ship under attack

Indeed! Skull and Crossbone brand Y fronts were favoured by pirates for their robust construction and incredible crust retaining abilities. Thus, the company logo became associated with piracy.

This lesson was not lost on the submarine service of the Royal Navy. During the Falklands war the surface fleet were taking a pounding, prompting the "we hide with pride" boys to turn to history for lessons they could apply to the conflict. Thus the ARA General Belgrano was sunk with a particularly soiled pair ofmthe Captains early 70s vintage Y fronts.

Indeed, the RAF wanted to attack Agrentinian forces with Vulcan launched soiled Y fronts during operation Black Buck, but concerns over this being constituted as a war crime meant that less lethal conventional munitions were used. There were also questions about the ability of the ageing Vulcan airframes ability to fly safely with a fully "loaded" pair of 1972 vintage BHS Y fronts in the bomb bay.

Police use soiled Y fronts on a long pole to disperse protesters in Dover today.

An unexpected bonus has been the total eradication of gulls within a 10 mile vicinity.

The Associations of British Wasp Fanciers immediately went into partnership with supplier Drago Enterprises to commence testing on Asian Hornet nests. 17 apiarists have been hospitalised with 3rd degree chemical burns.

It was the weight that was the problem - they could manage that witha few adjystments

but the "aroma" contains chemicals that would erode the airframes alloys over the long flight to the Falklands

They were actually designed to be able to cope witha flight to Moscow under suc conditions but it wold be a one-way mission and the crew would have to crash land in the Arctic Circle - probably North West Siberia
but their survival would be easier than expect as - even after dropping their payload - the remaining aroma would melt the snow for 300 yards in all directions

Naturally the crew would be provided with protective eqipment
