    I hope Brother DesF doesn't mind too much (I'll buy him a pint :))

    ... but I have a question that has been bugging me for several minutes now.

    In the children's song, popular in the early 80's ... who "landed on the runway like a lump of strawberry jam" ? ....

    Hint: The song was to the tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic
