The Admiral and the General were arguing about which service had the tougher men. Since they were on an aircraft carrier, the General called one of his men over. "Marine", he said, "you see that mast up there? That's about two hundred feet above the water. I want you to climb to the top of that mast and jump off!"
"Sir, yes sir!" replied the marine, and proceeded to do just that.
"I think I just proved that marines are tougher than sailors." Said the General.
The Admiral then called over one of his sailors and repeated the orders.
The sailor blinked at his boss and said "With all due respect, sir, **** you, sir!"
The Admiral held out his hand to the General and said "Pay up!"
