During the Mexican American War, an intense
long standoff occurred along the front. For days and days neither
side
made any advances.
Finally, an American general had a
bright idea. He aimed his rifle to
the Mexican trenches and yelled,
"Hey, Juan!"
A soldier jumped up and replied, "What?" The general
shot him dead.
This continued for three days.
A Mexican
general decided that two could play this game and decided to
try it
out. He called out, "Hey, John!"
An American replied, "John isn't
here. Is that you Juan?"
The Mexican general stood up, "Yeah" .

An Air Force cargo plane was preparing for
departure from Thule Air Base in Greenland. They were waiting for the
truck to arrive to pump out the aircraft's sewage holding
tank.
The Aircraft Commander was in a hurry, the truck was late in arriving,
and the Airman performing the job was extremely slow in getting the
tank pumped out.
When the commander berated the Airman for his
slowness and promised
punishment, the Airman responded: "Sir, I have
no stripes, it is 20 below
zero, I'm stationed in Greenland, and I
am pumping sewage out of
airplanes. Just what are you going to do
to punish me?"

The General went out to find that none of his
G.I.s were there. One finally ran up, panting heavily.
"Sorry, sir! I can explain, you see I had a date and it ran a little
late. I ran to the bus but missed it, I hailed a cab but it broke down,
found a farm, bought a horse but it dropped dead, ran 10 miles, and
now
I'm here."
The General was very skeptical about this
explanation but at least he
was here so he let the G.I. go. Moments
later, eight more G.I.s came up
to the general panting, he asked
them why they were late.
"Sorry, sir! I had a date and it ran a
little late, I ran to the bus
but missed it, I hailed a cab but it
broke down, found a farm, bought a
horse but it dropped dead, ran 10
miles, and now I'm here."
The General eyed them, feeling very
skeptical but since he let the
first guy go, he let them go, too. A
ninth G.I. jogged up to the General,
panting heavily.
"Sorry, sir! I had a date and it ran a little late, I ran to the bus
but missed it, I hailed a cab but..."
"Let me guess," the
General interrupted, "it broke down."
"No," said the G.I.,
"there were so many dead horses in the road, it
took forever to get
around them."

During a visit to a military medical clinic,
I was sent to the lab to have blood drawn. The technician there was
friendly and mentioned that his mood improved every day because he
was due
to leave the service in two months.
As he applied
the tourniquet on my arm, he told me that taking the
blood wouldn't
hurt much. Then, noticing my Air Force T-shirt he asked me
what my
husband did.
When I replied that he was a recruiter, the
technician smiled slyly and
said, "This might hurt a little more than I
thought."

The Army Airborne major was used to
harassment from Air Force fliers about crazy Army paratroopers jumping out
of
perfectly good aircraft. "Obviously the Air Force knows there's
no such
thing as a 'perfectly good aircraft,'" the irritated
officer finally
countered one afternoon, "because they pay you bastards
four times as
much to stay in one as the Army pays its men to
jump."
"You've got it all wrong, Major," an Air Force sergeant
replied.
"The Army figures anyone stupid enough to jump out of an
airplane
voluntarily is gonna be too dumb to bitch about the salary."
