I have learned to love that which is meant to harm me, so that I can stand in the way of those who are less strong. I can take the bullets for those who aren't able to.
Author: Margaret Cho

A draftee went in for his physical wearing a
truss and with a little convincing acting got his papers marked
M.E.
for Medically Exempt.
Afterward a friend borrowed the
truss to wear for his physical. At the
end of the examination the
doctor stamped M.E. on his papers.
"Does that mean I'm medically
exempt?" he asked.
"No," answered the doctor. "M.E. stands for
Middle East. Anyone who
can wear a truss upside down can certainly ride
a camel."

While practicing autorotations during a
military night training exercise a Huey Cobra screwed up the landing and
landed on the tail rotor. The landing was so hard that it broke off
the
tail boom. However, the chopper fortunately remained upright on
its
skids, sliding down the runway doing 360s.
As the Cobra
slid past the tower, trailing a brilliant shower of
sparks, this
was the radio exchange that took place...
Tower: "Sir, do you
need any assistance?"
Cobra: "I don't know Tower, we ain't done
crashin'
yet."
