Reminds me of a favorite joke, the punch line of which is, "It's a trick, General! There's two of 'em!" :lol:

Never heard that one. Care to recite it?

Ok, but two disclaimers first. One, please excuse the fact that it's totally off topic. Two, "Yankees" might not like it (this can be corrected by making substitutions where appropriate). Alrighty then....

Sherman begins his famous "March to the Sea" and heads out of Atlanta. About the time he reaches Stone Mountain, a scout rides up and says that he's spotted a Reb up on the ridge. Sherman orders one of his best riflemen to go after him. After a while, when the man fails to return, he sends a team of skirmishers. Later still, when they fail to return, he sends a whole platoon. After several hours, one man, badly wounded, staggers back down and falls to the ground at Sherman's feet, gasping for air. "It's a trick, General!" he says. "There's two of 'em!"

Yeah, I know, it's not very funny ;) (it's Lewis Grizzard's, not mine). But you asked. :P

Cheers :D

hehe. I think I have heard that one before but I think it had to do with an Army ranger going aganst wave after wave of Marines... or maybe it was the other way around. :lol:

EDIT: Found them here:

But my favorite has to be the one with the Navy Admiral, the Air Force, Army and Marine Generals on the repelling wall trying to figure out whose men are the bravest. ;)
That one can be found here:

:rotfl: The marine disappearing in the cloud of grenade explosions - funny stereotypes all in that joke.

While on maneuvers, a colonel and his jeep driver got stuck along a muddy road. Two privates were lounging in the shade a few yards away. "You two - on your feet and come help free this vehicle."

"Sorry sir," said one of the grunts, suppressing a smile, "but we're dead. The umpire said we are not to take part in any more of the exercise."

"Sergeant," said the colonel to his driver, "go over there and get those two stiffs and throw them under the wheels so we can get some traction."

Something else to think about is that these test pilots main job is to put the plane in "above and beyond" manuevers. The "average"...if there is an "average" fighter pilot won't be using these manuevers.

This reminds me of another stupid joke that I somehow always remembered (don't know the source):
During the hight of the Battle of Britain a new CO takes over a depleted squadron. He goes to the mess to be introduced to the pilots but there's just a sergeant major and two pilots. The sergeant major salutes and tells the new CO: ""Sir, meet the pilots of squadron XXX, both of them!"
