One regular participant in Game Night is our friend Joe (not his real name), a member of the Special Forces from Australia. I think he cheats because when we play Scategories he names all kinds of fruits, games, people and clothes that I've never heard of, but he claims are well-known in Australia. Last week, before we left, I told him, "I hope we see you next week." Here's the rest of the conversation:
Joe: I'll be here unless there's a water fart.
Me: A water fart?
Joe: Yes, for sure I'll see you unless there's a water fart.
Me: A water fart?
Joe: Yes, a water fart.
Me: Huh? Oh! A water fight. You'll be here unless there's a water fight!
Joe: Yes.
Me: What kind of water fight?
Joe: The regular water fight.
Me: Huh?
Joe: (Exasperated.) I may need to do my job.
I'll be at Game Night next week unless there's a war to fight.
Me: Oh. Yeah. A war to fight. Hope to see you next week.
Me: (Exasperated.) Duh.

We hear the following warning message about four times a day. It's difficult to understand over the "Great Voice," but I'm pretty sure this is what the guy says:
Standby for a message from the JDC [Pronounced Jay Doc; Joint Doctrine Center]:
There will be a contwolled expwosion southwest of KAF in 15 minutes.
I wepeat.
There will be a contwolled expwosion southwest of KAF in 15 minutes.
End of message.
End of blow job.*
3-5 minutes later: KA-BLAM!!!
*Weeks later I found out from some guys while waiting in the bunker that it says, "End of broadcast." I like my way better.
