A Brief History on Egyptian Anti-Rock Armour

I was forwarded this email by a work colleague and though I would post it up here to hopefully provide a few laughs to you all in the countdown to 5pm on this fine Friday afternoon. In an attempt to cover my own ass, may I confirm that I am not responsible for this email, I did not create it, it was sent to me and I've shared it with you - do not shoot the messenger.

The email read as follows:

So just to outline here – these are makeshift helmets made by the Egyptians whilst scrapping in their current predicament. I shall guide you through these pieces of registered army kit thus:

 Your classic 1979 ‘Tribottle’ helmet – a must in any type of combat 

A late 80’s ‘boxhat’. The bloke next to him doesn’t appear too sure of its effectiveness

A renaissance period piece of brickwear teamed with a black and cream scarf. Textbook

Im not sure that tuna sarnie he is about to lob is gonna cause to much destruction. Old skool 80’s broken bin helmet. I personally love the fact he needs to lift it up to see – does he spend the rest of the time walking in to things??

Textbook saucepaning with lifejacket combo. He does not take, ANY!!

 I literally have no idea what this is.



And the winner by 100 miles. This bloke is going to war with 2 baguettes strapped to his ears and a ham salad roll sellotaped to his forehead. I’d def wanna be behind him if someone lobs a load of bricks at me.
