food. The idea was to tic bombs to the dogs,
to kill the
soldiers in the enemy tanks.
But the dogs ran only to Russian tanks and many of the
Russians had to turn back. They very soon stopped using
dog-bombs.
The Worst Man-to-Man Fight
In 1645 there was a fight between
Sir Hierome Sankey
and Sir William Petty and people remembered it for
many years. It happened in London - nobody knows
what the fight was about.
Sir Hieromc was a frightening man. Sir William did not
really want to fight him.
Sir William was the one
who chose the place and the
weapons for the fight. He had a very clever idea. He
chose a very dark room so that they could not sec and
weapons that were too heavy to lift.
This was the worst fight until December 1971, when
two Uruguayan soldiers could not agree. It happened
after one of them called the other a name that he did not
like.
They decided to meet in a local
park and to fight with
guns. Standing with seventy-five feet between them, they
both shot thirty-seven bullets. But neither of them hit the
other man.
Later, a friend of one of the soldiers explained this
surprising fact. They both forgot
to put on their glasses
before the fight.

The Worst Local Government Worker
Senor Jose Ramon del Cuet once had an important job in
the local government of Coacaloco in Mexico. In June
1978 he left his job because he
felt that he was not a
success. Four thousand local people helped him to decide
to do this. They all went to the local government offices
and ordered him to eat twenty-five kilos of bananas and
he did. Then they told him to leave his job immediately.
