Not wanting to make a habbit of posting jokes but this one especially since it's military related is far too good to pass up. Enjoy.
Army Retirement...
The Army found they had too many officers and decided to offer an early
Retirement bonus.
They promised any officer who volunteered for retirement a bonus of $1000
for every inch measured in a straight line between any two points in his
body.
The officer got to choose what those two points would be.
The first officer who accepted, asked that he be measured, from the top of
his head to the tip of his toes. He was measured at six feet and walked
out with a bonus of $72,000.
The second officer who accepted was a little smarter and asked to be
measured from the tip of his outstretched hands to his toes. He walked out
with $96,000.
The third one was a grizzly old Captain who, when asked where he would
like to be measured, replied, "From the tip of my noodle to my
testicles."
It was suggested by the pension man that he may want to reconsider,
explaining about the nice cheques the previous two officers had received.
But the old Captain insisted and they decided to go along with him,
providing the measurement was taken by a medical officer.
The medical officer arrived and instructed the Captain to drop'em, so he
did.
The medical officer placed the tape measure on the tip of the Captain's
noodle and began to work back.
"My God!, he suddenly exclaimed, "Where are your testicles?"
The Captain calmly replied, "Vietnam".
