Top Trump
From ARRSEpedia
Game of the hetero sexual predator.
A deck of playing cards (kind of) with pictures of planes, trains, cars, dragsters, tupperware dishes, fish, kettles.... you name it top trumps cashed in on the male need to compete, out do and mock an adversary.
Top Trumps were directlty responsible for peace in the Falklands... Maj Chris Keeble, unable to speak Spanish and the head Dago, unable to speak English met in Port Stanley. They shook hands and swapped pictures of loved ones at home then realised they couldn't communicate. Keeble turned to the flat nosed Para Regt CSM and asked him if he new any Spanish he said 'Aye Sir, I can say 'four fcuken beers spic.' The universally known and respected Top Trumps, military aircraft edition was offered up by a quick thinking Army Air Corps Scout Crewman, once again saving the day.
Unbeknown to anyone, Keeble was the Kettering and District Trumps timelord (very high up in trumping circles)and his poker like face didn't give away the fact that in the deal he'd been given the SR-71 and the C-5 Galaxy, a winning combination of speed and wingspan that should have the Argies swimming back to Buenos Aries.
It was best of three, but Keeble Nailed the wop 2-0 and requested they depart the Malvinas or Top Trump Artillery pieces would severley ruin thier day.
