Mighty Particular
There was a chap of the Grenadier Guards who was always mighty particular about his appearance, and persisted in wearing a tie all the time, whereas most of us reduce our needs to the simplest possible. One day, under heavy rifle fire, he was seen to be in a frightful fluster. “Are you hit?” he was asked. “No,” he said. “What is it, then?” “This — tie is not straight,” he replied, and proceeded to adjust it under fire: Corpl. C. Hamer, Coldstream Guards
