Marine/ I'm Not Stupid! (or not)
Nov 16, 2013 18:21:16 #
After a fire started in a downtown hotel, four of the guests found the exit downstairs blocked by fire. The guests consisted of an Army Captain, a Navy Captain, an Air Force Colonel and a Marine Major.
Surrounded by fire, the four went up to the roof.
The firetruck soon arrived, and the firemen held out a net and yelled up, "Ok Groundpounder, jump!"
The Army Captain responded, "I am an Officer and Gentleman in the United States Army, and you will address me as such."
The fireman yelled back, "Ok, Captain, sir, jump."
The Captain jumped. The firemen moved the net, and the Captain splattered on the ground.
The firemen yelled up, "Ok, Swabbie, Jump!"
The Navy Captain yelled back, "I graduated from the Naval Academy, and you will show respect."
The firemen yelled up, "Ok, sir, jump." and again the firemen moved the net and another splat.
The Firemen yelled up, "Ok, Flyboy, jump!" The Air Force Colonel yelled back, "I am a top ace in the Air Force, and I deserve respect."
The firemen said, "Ok, pilot sir, jump!" They again moved the net and another splat.
The fireman yelled up, "OK, Jarhead, jump!"
The Marine Major yelled down, "I am not stupid like those other guys. You are not moving the net on me. Before I jump, put that net on the ground and step back three paces."

I always had eyes on the Gunny, I never was sure where LT was. I think that if grunts were on the roof, they would have respectfully help the O's over the side hen found their own way out. I would have followed "cause that's how I roll. :thumbup: ;)

Definitely into the chicken thing this PM, ie. "the side hen found". I have no recall of any hens being on the roof.

They have a tendency to stick in one's throat don't they. It makes it very difficult to swallow, even liquids.
