What to do in case of a Nuclear Attack

[rajan]

WASHINGTON: At the height of the Cold War and nuclear madness of the 1970s,

a popular poster detailed "What to do in case of a Nuclear Attack". After

advising people to tie up as many loose ends as possible, it urged them

to...(8) Run out into an open field...(9) Put your head between your

legs...and (10) Kiss your ass goodbye!

 

[Tarun]

Soon India & Pakistan may begin hurling A-bombs.

What about those of us with arthritis, scoliosis etc?

We can't quite get our heads down between our legs.

And what to speak of...

This song 'Protect and Survive' comes courtesy of the Dubliners.

 

Well the government's made a document to help prevent embarrassment

And in the event of an accident catching us with our trousers down

It's no use to you when your dead nor even when alive

And the name of this piece of paper is protect and survive

 

So when the nukes come raining down it's great to be alive

Well World War Three can be such fun if you protect and survive

Protect and survive

 

Well a nuclear strike can be recognised it would stand out in a crowd

There's a flash then a bang then a blast of heat then a bloody great mushroom cloud

So if you happen to see one at the end of your street

Would you please pick up your telephone and inform your local police

 

So when the nukes come raining down it's great to be alive

Well World War Three can be such fun if you protect and survive

Protect and survive

 

Put sticky tape on your windows, block your ears and close your eyes

But it wont make a blind bit of difference you wont have to watch yourself fry

If you find yourself in the target zone and you haven't got a shelter

Take a spade into the garden and dig like merry hell sir

 

So when the nukes come raining down it's great to be alive

Well World War Three can be such fun if you protect and survive

Protect and survive

 

They've got strategic ICBM's both theature and tactical

With independently targeted multiple re-entry vehicles

Backfire bombs, polaris subs, cruise missiles and the boys

Who hang around the Pentagon can't wait to use these toys

 

So when the nukes come raining down it's great to be alive

Well World War Three can be such fun if you protect and survive

Protect and survive

 

When Armageddon gets underway and the rockets come pouring down

All the bloody politicians who started it will scuttle off underground

And when they finally re-emerge with no life to be found

The can administrate the rubble and order each other around

 

So when the nukes come raining down it's great to be alive

Well World War Three can be such fun if you protect and survive

Protect and survive

 

Oh they give us a four minute warning when the rockets are on their way

To give us time to panic and the Christians time to pray

So when you hear the sirens place your head between your thighs

While maintaining this posture you can make the final gesture

And with a little muscular pressure you can kiss your arse goodbye

 

So when the nukes come raining down it's great to be alive

Well World War Three can be such fun if you protect and survive

Protect and survive
