 HOW TO WASH THE CAT

1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.

2. Add the required amount of shampoo
to the toilet water, and have both lids lifted.

3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you
carry him towards the bathroom.

4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the
toilet and close both lids (you may need to
stand on the lid so that he cannot escape).


Caution: Do not get any part of your body
too close to the edge, as his claws will be
reaching out for anything they can find.

5. Flush the toilet three or four times.
This provides a power-wash and rinse
that I have found to be quite effective.

6. Have someone open the door to the outside
and ensure that there are no people between
the toilet and the outside door.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can,
and quickly lift both lids.

8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet,
and run outside where he will dry himself.

Sincerely,

The Dog

The Story of Taz

As you all may know, Warner Brothers Cartoons originated the Tasmanian Devil in the 60's. He first became popular with the Armourers when he was painted on the AETE Armament Section door in December of 1979.  

It was Duane Akey who thought up the design for TAZ and Al Tilley who wrote Warner Brothers for a copyright exemption, and permission to utilize "TAZ" as our symbol. As there were a couple of distinct changes in the Taz's appearance, namely, the mug of beer in one hand and an "EOD" bomb in the other, there was no requirement for copyright exemption. 

TAZ has since grown to signify the most proud group of tradesmen in the CAF, a group of hard working, party loving individuals who continually surprise all the rest with their espirit-de-corps - the Armourers.
