    Oddball: Hi, man.

    Big Joe: What are you doing?

    Oddball: I'm drinking wine and eating cheese, and catching some rays, you know.
    Big Joe: What's happening?

    Oddball: Well, the tank's broke and they're trying to fix it.

    Big Joe: Well, then, why the hell aren't you up there helping them?

    Oddball: [chuckles] I only ride 'em, I don't know what makes 'em work.

    :D

    Andy,

    I think this is Oddball's best line - sums it all up for me.

    We see our role as primarily defensive in nature. While our armies are advancing so fast and everybody's knocking themselves out to be heroes, we are holding ourselves in reserve in case the Krauts mount a counter-offensive that threatens Paris or maybe even New York. Then we can move in and stop them.

    Sir David Kelly: 'We're not easily frightened! Also, we know how hard it is for an army to cross the channel; Last little corporal who tried it came a cropper! So don't threaten or dictate to us, until you're marching up Whitehall! And even then we won't listen!

    Remember this?

    All through the winter of '43 we had translators working, in joke-proof conditions, to try and produce a German version of the joke. They worked on one word each for greater safety. One of them saw two words of the joke and spent several weeks in hospital. But apart from that things went pretty quickly, and we soon had the joke by January, in a form which our troops couldn't understand but which the Germans could.

    Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! ... Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput.

    Another good one from A bridge Too Far:


    Wounded Paratrooper: Morphia! Taffy, I must have morphia!

    'Taffy' Brace: Morphia's only for the people who are really hurt.

    Wounded Paratrooper: I thought I was really hurt.

    'Taffy' Brace: (Looks at his leg half blown off and picks him up) Well, you're wrong.

    The scene with the Flamethrower at the pillbox was funny too where they end up blaming each other :D
