Military Talk

One reason the Services have trouble operating jointly is that they don’t speak the same language.

For example, if you told Navy personnel to “secure a building,” they would turn off the lights and lock the doors.

Army personnel would occupy the building so no one could enter.

Marines would assault the building, capture it, and defend it with suppressive fire and close combat.

The Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy.

An Egyptian man is walking…

An Egyptian man is walking through the Cairo bazaar, when a stranger comes up to him and offers to sell Viagra (illegal in Egypt) for 100 Egyptian pounds.

“No, not worth it!”

“OK, how about 50 Egyptian pounds?”

“No, not worth it!”

“OK, 20?”

“No, not worth it!”

“How about 10?”

“No, not worth it!”

“Listen, these pills cost US $10 each. How can you say they are not worth it?”

“Oh, the pills ARE worth it. My wife is not worth it.”

Entertaining the Troops

The soldiers are tired and lonely after spending weeks in enemy territory. To entertain them, the Major called for this HOT dancer from the nearby town.

She came, danced and when the first dance was done, the soldiers went mad. They clapped for 5 minutes.

For her second number she stripped and danced in sheer bra and G string. This time the applause went for 10 minutes.

The next number she danced topless, and this time the applause went on and on. The Major had to come on stage and ask them to quiet down for the grand finale.

For her last number, she was to strip completely and dance naked. The Major expected the soldiers to make enough noise to bring the roof down. But ten minutes later, there is no clapping and the dancer comes backstage.

The Major asks her, “What happened? How come there was no clapping this time?”

She replied with a wicked smile, “Major, how do you expect those poor boys to clap with one hand ?!”

Remember When…

One night, a woman woke up in the middle of the night and found
her husband in the kitchen sobbing.

“Honey, what’s wrong?” she asked.

He replied,”Do you remember when we were still dating, and your
father caught us making love, and he told me either marry my
daughter or you will spend the next 20 years in jail?”

“Of course, I remember. What made you think of that,” she asked.

The husband replied with tears in his eyes, “Well, I would’ve
been getting out of jail today.”

Always on Duty

A new soldier was on sentry duty at the main gate. His orders were clear: No car was to enter unless it had a special sticker on the windshield. A big Army car came up with a general seated in the back. The sentry said, “Halt, who goes there?”

The chauffeur, a corporal, says, “General Wheeler.”

“I’m sorry, I can’t let you through. You’ve got to have a sticker on the windshield.”

The general said, “Drive on!”

The sentry said, “Hold it! You really can’t come through. I have orders to shoot if you try driving in without a sticker.”

The general repeated, “I’m telling you, son, drive on!”

The sentry walked up to the rear window and said, “General, I’m new at this. Do I shoot you or the the driver?”

Divert Your Course

This is an ACTUAL radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. Radio conversation released by the US Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-95.
Americans:
Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

Canadians:
Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Americans:
This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Canadians:
No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans:
THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN. THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, THAT’S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians:
This is a lighthouse. Your call.

Smart Captain

Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the waves, a captain and his crew were in danger of being boarded by a pirate ship. As the crew became frantic, the captain bellowed to his First Mate, “Bring me my red shirt!”

The First Mate quickly retrieved the captain’s red shirt, which the captain put on and led the crew to battle the pirate boarding party. Although some casualties occurred among the crew, the pirates were repelled. Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending boarding parties.

The crew cowered in fear, but the captain, calm as ever bellowed, “Bring me my red shirt!”

And once again the battle was on. However, the Captain and his crew repelled both boarding parties, though this time more casualties occurred. Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day’s occurrences when an ensign looked to the Captain and asked, “Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?”

The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, exhorted, “If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the wound and thus, you men will continue to fight unafraid.”

The men sat in silence marveling at the courage of such a man. As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way. The men became silent and looked to the Captain, their leader, for his usual command.

The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, “Bring me my brown pants!”

Cops and Blondes

There was a blonde a brunnete and a red head they were
all in a car. When all of a sudden a cop tells them to pull over.
But the brunnete didn’t want a speeding ticket. So the brunnete
goes and steps on the gas. While they were ahead of the cop they
decided to stop the car. When they got out of the car they
look around to see where to run, as they look the red head spots
3 sacks. So each of the girls get into one of the sacks. As they
do
that the cop is chasing behind them. When he sees the car, He
gets out of the car and sees that there is nobody inside the
girls car. Then he sees the 3 sacks. So he goes and kicks the
red head sack and she screams “meeeooowww” he says ” oh just a
sack of cats” then
he kicks the brunnetes sack and she says ” ruff arf ruff” and
he’s like “oh its juss a sack of dogs” then he kicks the blondes
and she says “potato”.

Give up drugs

Two young guys were picked up by the cops for smoking dope and
appeared in court before the judge. The judge said, “You seem
like nice young men, and I’d like to give you a second chance
rather than jail time. I want you to go out this weekend and try
to show others the evils of drug use and get them to give up
drugs forever. I’ll see you back in court Monday.”

Monday, the two guys were in court, and the judge said to the
first one, “How did you do over the weekend?” “Well, your honor,
I persuaded 17 people to give up drugs forever.” “Seventeen
people? That’s wonderful. What did you tell them?” “I used a
diagram, your honor. I drew two circles like this and told them
this big circle is your brain before drugs and this small circle
is your brain after drugs”. “That’s admirable,” said the judge.

“And you, how did you do?” The judge asked the second boy.
“Well, your honor, I persuaded 150 people to give up drugs
forever.” “One-hundred-fifty people! That’s amazing! How did you
manage to do that?” “Well, I used a similar approach. I said,
‘This small circle is your asshole before prison….'”
