Senior citizens have taken to texting with gusto. They even have their own vocabulary:


BFF: Best Friend Fainted
BYOT: Bring Your Own Teeth
CBM: Covered by Medicare
FWB: Friend with Beta-blockers
LMDO: Laughing My Dentures Out
GGPBL: Gotta Go, Pacemaker Battery Low!

All right. Who did you steal that from? Because we all know Jar Heads don't have a sense of humor. They weren't issued one. :mrgreen:

We bring out the humor in others. In Combat training at Camp Pendleton, California,63 years ago, we were on our knees scrubbing the concrete floor (deck) of our Quonset hut, when the most Junior of our Drill Instructors began his nightly ritual of "I don' wanna' see nothin' but Elbows and Assholes," to which I automatically responded "I'm an elbow."

It brought out the humor in the entire platoon, who stood to lose their being if they laughed. Too bad, but the DI was laughing the loudest, and lost his opportunity to disband the Corps right then and there.

I never claimed credit that night, which is why I am alive to claim it tonight.

We bring out the humor in others. In Combat traini... (show quote)


I was at Tent Camp Two in '52 in the ITR prior to shipping out. Never was aboard Mainside.
