Patriotic Soldiers<br />
Two old men, Bill and Joe, were sitting on a porch reminiscing about the Falklands.<br />
"It was a real struggle," said Bill.<br />
"I know what you mean," said Joe."I remember I was struggling all the way. I fought<br />
and I fought, and I fought, and when I thought I was tired out, I found the strength<br />
to carry on fighting another day."<br />
"Yup."<br />
"But it didn't matter, because in the end they made me join the Army anyway."<br />
Most Dangerous Comments<br />
A private saying “I learned this in<br />
basic training…”<br />
A lieutenant saying “Based on my<br />
experience…”<br />
A captain saying “I was just<br />
thinking…”<br />
When backtalk is still funny:<br />
As a group of soldiers stood in<br />
formation at an Army Barracks ,<br />
the Sergeant said, “All right! All<br />
you idiots fall out.”<br />
As the rest of the squad wandered<br />
away, one soldier remained at<br />
attention. Sergeant walked over<br />
until he was eye-to-eye with him.<br />
<strong>The</strong> soldier smiled and said, “Sure<br />
were a lot of ’em, huh, Sergeant?”<br />
Center of the Universe<br />
How many pilots does it take to<br />
screw in a light bulb?<br />
Only one. He holds the bulb and<br />
then the world revolves around<br />
him to screw it in.<br />
<strong>The</strong> other day a police officer<br />
pulls over a man driving a bus<br />
when he walks on up to the side<br />
windows and he sees 20 penguins<br />
in there.<br />
<strong>The</strong> officer questions the man<br />
"sir, are these your penguins?"<br />
<strong>The</strong> man replies "yep, they are<br />
my pet penguins" <strong>The</strong> officer then says "sir, I am going to need<br />
you to take those penguins to the zoo immediately!"<br />
<strong>The</strong> man says "ok" to the officer and he drives off towards the<br />
zoo.<br />
<strong>The</strong> following day the officer pulls over the same bus and is<br />
shocked to see the same 20 penguins inside all<br />
wearing sunglasses.<br />
<strong>The</strong> officer looks sternly at the driver and says "I<br />
thought I ordered you to take these penguins to the<br />
zoo? "<strong>The</strong> man replies "I did, and today we are all<br />
going to the beach!"<br />
