Always fun to tweak the noses of friendly Marines, like:
Q: Why does each USNavy ship have one Marine on board? A: A sheep would be too
obvious.
I tell that oneto Maruinesm, but Ui generally close with the one about the 200
army men in training & a marine yells insults from up the hill a rthem,. The
sarge sent a guy up to shut him up; he came back bleeding & crawling.
He then sent 2 guys up, & they both came crzwling back, bleeding.
Finally, quite irate now, he sends ten of his best fighters up the hill.
They fight the Marine over the cresty & down the other side out of sight.
Finally one comes crawling back to tell his sergeant, "It's a trap, sir --
there're two of them!"
