Joke Kind of funny
« on: February 18, 2009, 06:15:18 AM »
The following joke was sent to me my email.  I thought it was pretty funny.  Might be an old one, but I have never seen it before.

The commanding officer of a regiment in the U.S. Marine Corps was about to start the morning briefing to his staff, battalion and company commanders.

While waiting for the coffee machine to finish its brewing, the colonel decided to pose a question to all assembled.

He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep.

He posed the question of just how much of sex was 'work' and how much of it was pleasure?'

The regimental executive officer chimed in with 75-25% in favor of work.

A captain said it was 50-50%.

The colonel's aide responded with 25-75% in favor of pleasure, depending on his state of inebriation at the time.

There being no consensus, the colonel turned to the private who was in charge of making the coffee.  What was his opinion?

Without any hesitation, the young PFC responded, 'Sir, it has to be 100% pleasure.'

The colonel was surprised and, as you might guess, asked why?

'Well, sir, if there was any work involved, the officers would have me doing it for them.'
The room fell silent.


At the bottom of the joke was a more serious quote;

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check made payable to ' The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

I did not serve in the service, but this unknown quote does have merit.   :salute to all who are serving, have served, and are retired.  A large  :salute to the ones that have given their life so we can have our way of life.

One of the serious problems in planning the fight against American doctrine, is that the Americans do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligation to follow their doctrine... - From a Soviet Junior Lt's Notebook
