The military recently found it had too many generals and offered an early retirement bonus. They went through many retirement plans but nothing seemed to please everyone.

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

The first man, an Air Force general, 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 general, 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 general, a grizzled old Marine General, 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 general might like to reconsider, pointing out the nice checks the previous two generals had received. The Marine general 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 the general to drop 'em. He did. The medical officer placed the tape on the tip of the general's penis and began to work back. "My God man!" he said, "where are your testicles??"

"Vietnam," smiled the USMC General.

Going to send that to my grandson. He was born in Fallbrook, CA (back gate), grew up there, no other branch he could have joined. In his senior year of High School he joined that recruitment thing. Spend one night a week and upped to about three Saturdays a month before he graduated HS. He said San Diego was a piece of cake as he was so ready with the fitness. In about the eleventh week he did begin to complain that the DI's continued to treat them like i***ts. I think he used another word. He married another Marine and they are expecting my first great-grand child soon. Bet he or she grows up to be a member also.
