The Corps
found it had too many
Sgts and offered an early retirement bonus. They went through lots of retirement plans but nothing seemed to please everyone.

In the end, desperate, they promised any Sgt who retired immediately his full annual benefits plus $10,000 for every inch measured in a straight line between any two points on his body, with the Sgt getting to select any pair of points he wished.

The first man, an Air Force Sgt, accepted. He asked the pension man to measure from the top of his head to the tip of his toes. Six feet.
He walked out with a check of $720,000.

The second man, an Army Sgt, asked them to measure from the tip of his up-stretched hands to his toes. Eight feet. He walked out with a check for $960,000.



When the third Sgt, a grizzled old Marine Sgt named Poppa Gringo, was asked where to measure, he told the pension man: "From the tip of my penis to my testicles."

The pension man suggested that perhaps the Marine Sgt might like to reconsider, pointing out the nice checks the previous two Sgts had received. But Poppa insisted and the pension expert said that would be fine, but that he'd better get the medical officer to do the measuring.


The medical officer attended and asked Poppa to drop 'em. He did. The medical officer placed the tape on the tip of Poppa's penis and began to work back.


"My God man!" he said, "where are your testicles??"

"Korea," smiled Poppa

I'm single handedly making you and your tutor famous on OPP
you should thank me
by paying the IOUs you owe me

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

Even as we took your money at the poker table, we paid you handsomely by giving you the pleasure of two Marines as company.

I was having pleasure til yall ran out of cash
and started writing those worthless IOUs

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

Thanks for explaining your happiness in giving us money so quickly and easily, BB. That softens the guilt of taking it all from you.

Big dog

Excellent indeed

That Poppa is a wiley one for sure.

That's BB for ya', Bahmer. Like ol' Wile E. Coyote's always getting beaten at the poker table, etc., by his 'Roadrunner' Marine superiors.

I have to think on that a bit but don't worry either I or badbobby will came back at you for sure.

There are 87 total players in the Masters this year and of those 87 6 are amateurs. If Jordan Spieth

is back to his formal self that will be a great tournament. I think that after having two winning years

that he has dropped off his practice and now needs to relly come back and practice like he has never won.

bahmer

I will have to tell badbobby to stop playing with those

Acme playing cards that you dastardly Marines insist on using.

kinda like my poker games with Slat and Papi

two gross amateurs (dastardly Marines)
and one adequate player(handsome Swabbie)
no wonder they owe me so much

bahmer

So true it is a shame that they never get the message
isn't it oh well it is their loss not yours.
