I had just become a Second lieutenant in The Marines when my mother and I were walking toward the Iwo Jima monument. We were about to cross the street when a truck was coming toward us. We jumped back out of the way.
The driver, a USMC Gunny Sergeant slowed down, leaned out the window, saluted and told mother, "Don't worry, I wouldn't hit an officer -- there's too much paperwork in it."
What did the vet say when Schrodinger went to pick up his cat?
"I have good news and bad news..."
To show my wife how much I love her I bought her a beautiful diamond ring...
I had it engraved with the cost.
