Blackwatch equals great Black Humor

Rossco: "I though it was gonnay tell me something about the meaning ay life ay.

Nabsy: "But he was to busy shooting folk."

So far from my scanning of this glorious scottish play i have realized that soldiers are funnier than regular people. maybe its the absurdity of the situation but these guys sure have fine, slightly literate, Gallow's (bar) humor. It's like Belle & Sebastian but instead of effeminate vocals and guitar playing, its a group of perpetually slurred speaking ruffians. When I read this play aloud i sound like a drunk attempting a modern soliloquy .
