Chief of the General Staff, Sir Carleton-Smith, went missing after being air-dropped by a Wildcat helicopter into the wrong field in Salisbury, England. The incident occurred a week ago. The army tried to contact him by phone, but was unsuccessful. That's when everyone panicked. Carleton-Smith was found shortly after by men who sprinted out into an adjacent area of where he was supposed to be airdropped.

The Daily Telegraph reported, "There was an ‘Oh s*** moment’ when they realised they had lost the head of the army. His visit was a really big deal and they had everything planned out. 'When they worked out where he was the greeting party raced over to get him.'"

Okay, I admit it. I'm wrong for laughing at this story. I can laugh as they found him and he is okay. However, you have to admit, this story is pretty funny (LOL). I have English blood in me and when I read about their accomplishments, such as inventing Ibuprofen, going into space and winning the World Cup, it makes me proud. Then, I read about things like my ancestors losing the army general during an airdrop in broad daylight, and I sink into my chair and cover my face (LOL).

It's the same with my Jamaican heritage. I read about Jamaica producing brilliant Rhodes scholars, winning math and science competitions, producing award winning athletes, and producing one of the top recording artists of all time, Bob Marley, whose music and related products has generated $3 billion dollars in sales, and it makes me proud. Then, I read about a man in Jamaica who dresses like Spiderman and dangerously jumps off his roof for fun, and I sink into my chair and cover my face again (LOL).

I'm just kidding, as I'm not embarrassed by any aspect of my ancestry.
