A few months ago, I recounted a tale told to me by a comedian who'd been over to Afghanistan to perform for the troops. It was about British squaddies playing a trick on their Northern Alliance colleagues by pretending that the unmanned drones used by the British military are piloted by highly trained mice.
Well, by chance, the soldier who originated this story came to see me perform on tour and sent me an email explaining how this misunderstanding came about, and it's even better than the apocryphal tale.
I've had to censor some of it to keep his identity secret, but I hope you enjoy it.
Get a hair transplant from the place that did mine!
