It does provide a very interesting mind picture.

I reckon they washed it on too hot a setting.

I didn’t even know they wear battle kilts!

They need to use the 'war machine' setting.
It comes after 'woolens' on my hotpoint washer.

I never buy pleated skirts because they get depleated when I sit down. Has someone large sat on this war machine?

As a matter of fact, the Ukranian artillery seem to be doing a fairly competent job of "depleating" the Russian tanks and amoured vehicles.

Or even of depleting them!
