Joke

You all have probably heard this one but it’s a good one.

A soldier was traveling southbound on a two lane highway at 0400 on a Saturday. It was very icy as it had been for several days prior. This was the first time in several days the weather had lifted so the soldier thought it would be best to use the time to get back to post from a long well deserved stint of leave.

A Marine Corporal was traveling Northbound on the same highway for the same reasons as the soldier. When passing one another the cars both spun out of control and hit each other.

Both the soldier and the Marine get out of the cars unhurt by the experience retrieve their appropriate information to exchange. The soldier asks the Marine “Are you all right?” The Marine replied “affirmative and your self?” The soldier also replied he was alright. They exchanged paper work wile managing to say very little to each other. They both sat on the trunks of their cars and proceeded to wait for the local law enforcement.

After some time had passed the Soldier said “I called 911 on my cell phone it shouldn’t be to long now.” The Marine nodded his head. The soldier then said you know it’s probably a miracle that we were both unharmed. Me being stationed so far south and you so far north what are the chances of us ever meeting? The Marine said probably very little. The solder said I think we should start a friendship after this traumatic event that could make us great friends and help us cross the barrier that each branch has with one another. The Marine becoming enthusiastic with the soldiers proposal asked how he planned to accomplish that. The soldier replied well I do have a little Jack Daniel’s left we could drink. The Marine very enthusiastic now took the bottle out of the soldiers hand and proceeded to take a good chug off the bottle leaving very little in it. He held it into the soldiers face and said here it’s your turn. The soldier replied “No, I think I’ll wait for the police to arrive.”

(I know it’s supposed to be an Airman dogging a soldier but I can’t do that to my own branch.)

You know…I didn’t even think of it that way.

Dzertfish nailed it.  8 years ago I spent 4 months touring the UK and I did meet a few American travelers with canadian flags on their backpacks.  And the flags they had WERE larger than the one I had (though not 1 foot  :-P )

You might have seen this before:

Reminds me a list (long since lost to me many computers ago) from an general aviation magazine.

The big spinny thing at the front of the aircraft is just a fan to keep the pilot cool, because when it stops he really starts to sweat.

Helicopters do not actually fly, they are just so ugly the earth repels them.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.  Any landing after which you can re-use the aircraft is a GREAT landing.

Sadly, those are the only ones I remember…

Can’t help myself …

A young girl is sitting on the edge of a cliff, crying. A man sees her, and, of course, goes to see what is wrong.
“Hey, what’s the matter?” The girl sniffs and looks up.
“My dad just drove the car over the cliff, and now he’s dead!”
“Oh!” Says the man, “that’s terrible. But what about your mother?”
“She was in the car too! I have no-one to look after me!”
The man unbuckles his belt and starts to pull down his trousers.
“Really not your lucky day, is it?”
