Знавал я одного парня, который никогда бы не поделился со своими товарищами даже яблочным огрызком. Однажды, когда мы стояли лагерем, среди прочих вкусностей в первой же его посылке было килограммов пять репчатого лука. Еще до того, как он за него принялся, нам отдали приказ выдвигаться. Что ему оставалось делать в эти тяжелейшие минуты раздумий? Почти любой — да что уж там, девяносто девять из ста, — понимая, что времени осталось совсем немного, выставил бы эти несчастные луковицы у своей палатки и пригласил товарищей угоститься. Но только не этот боец — он был исключением из правила, поэтому, перевязав луковицы старыми тряпками, отправил их назад домой.
- Из воспоминаний капрала Джона Д. Биллингса, 10-й Массачусетский полк легкой артиллерии, "Галеты и кофе" (Hard Tack and Coffee)

Генерал Халлек,

Недавно в заброшенном южном доме было обнаружено исподнее, совершенно не подходящее ни одному из бойцов данной армии. Я полагаю, что такое обилие материала необходимо сохранить — особенно сейчас, когда нам столь важно сырье, из которого это исподнее делается; я задумался о том, кому из моих знакомых оно могло бы принести наибольшую пользу.

Я сразу же подумал о полковнике Томе из Вашего штаба. С глубочайшим уважением передаю ему эту находку и прошу сопроводить ее вручение словами, которые Вы сочтете необходимыми.

С уважением,
Ваш покорный слуга
У. С. Грант

Хотя аутентичность этого письма ставится под сомнение, менее забавным оно от этого не становится. Грант, вероятно, имел в виду шелк или иную ткань, которую из-за своей прочности использовали для составления карт.

Football. UEFA Champions League
Borussia D - Sturm Gaz
Borussia D wins in the 1st half
Odds: 1.49

Borussia is the clear favorite of the match and there is no argument here, the team will be angry after the defeat against Real where they were leading with a score of 2-0 and lost 5-2. Rorussia will attack from the first minutes of the match and can score and win in the first half. Their opponent is not that serious "Sturm" will play defensively from the first minutes because they understand that the opponent is strong + they are playing away. They will try to go on the counterattack but I think they will not be able to hold out for long without conceding a goal, and we will see the result in the first half.

Good luck for all🤝

Football. UEFA Champions League
Celtic - Leipzig
Leipzig draw no bet
Odds: 1.867

Who would have thought that after three rounds Celtic would have four points more than Leipzig, but that's the reality.
It is clear that the Scots are not interested in the Germans' problems, but it is still worth starting from Marco Rose's team. For them, the upcoming match in Glasgow should be held under the slogan "all or nothing", because even a draw, in fact, gives the Germans nothing, given their schedule in the remaining rounds.

Football. Spain. La Liga
Celta - Getafe
Penalty awarded or sending off - YES
Odds: 2.02

✅✅✅

I didn't find anything in bigs today, so I suggest taking this bet. Firstly, the referee Jesus Gil is very card-playing, the average total is 5.5, our bet was successful in 7 out of 10 games, considering the odds, it's not bad. Secondly, the teams we meet are rough. Celta fouls an average of 11.1, Getafe fouls an average of 16 per match. Getafe is actually the roughest team in Primera, in the last personal match the bet didn't go through, but in previous personal matches it was consistently successful, I'll take this one, either a penalty or a removal should go through, we're waiting for the fight.

Good luck for all🤝

Football. Italy. Serie A
Inter - Venezia
Inter wins with handicap -1.5
Odds: 1.53

Venezia played two high-scoring matches in a row. They scored as many as nine goals between them, which is a very high-scoring result for Italy. Now they will get it in the match with Inter. Venezia conceded two goals from each of those opponents, which means Inter will score at least two, or even more, if possible, and they themselves may well not even concede, which is why it is logical to expect a victory for the hosts with a difference of at least two goals. Inter is playing in the Champions League, so they need to be in optimal condition, which means they need to beat their opponents with confidence in order to feel confident in their own abilities.

Good luck for all🤝

Football. Portugal. Primeira Liga
Arouca - Braga
Braga wins
Odds: 1.66

✅✅✅

Arouca has good ball control and is generally capable of delivering the ball to the opponent's goal, however, the defensive line is the second worst in the Premier League, and the defenders often give away penalties. Braga shows excellent attacking football - they have a lot of ball control, shoot a lot on goal and create many dangerous moments. The team keeps a clean sheet for most of the matches this season, and one of the forwards is in the top three assists in the league.

Good luck for all🤝

Football. England. Premier League
Manchester United - Chelsea
Both teams to score and Total goals under 5.5
Odds: 1.69

✅✅✅

"The Mancunians" were immediately inspired after the dismissal of "Ten Hag", and crushed "Leicester" from the "League Cup" (5:2). Now "Van Nistelrooy" is temporarily at the helm of the club, and later "Ruben Amorim" himself will be. The current position of the "Red Devils" in the "EPL" is very deplorable - only 13th place, which must be immediately corrected, especially with such serious opponents. "Chelsea" changed the head coach from the very beginning of the season, and this was very beneficial for them. Right now, the "aristocrats" are on the 6th place and demonstrate high-quality, attacking football, scoring in absolutely all "EPL" matches. It is noteworthy that "Chelsea" carried out rotation in the cup game, and today they will come out in absolutely fresh playing conditions. "MU" really needs points, otherwise you can start to forget about the "European Cups". Even with the new coach, the "Mancunians" are also weak in defense, because the same "Leicester" gave them two goals away, and they played with rotation. An exchange of goals in such a game is a very expected event. But I would not expect such a large abundance of goals, because the match is very important, and first of all for the new Manchester coach.

Good luck for all🤝
