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 />
