Drill Instructor

"Drill Instructor"

A Marine drill instructor, completely frazzled by
the ineptitude of his recruits, burst into a blue
streak of swearing hot enough to blister paint.
He broke off suddenly when he noticed one of the
recruits had been talking in ranks.

"WHAT WAS THAT YOU SAID, RECRUIT??" the
drill sergeant hollered.

In a quivering voice, the recruit replied, "I said,
to myself,Drill Sergeant Sir, 'if that sucker thinks
I'm going to stand here and take his crap . . . well,
he's certainly an uncanny judge of character."

"Wheelbarrow"

The strong young man at the construction site was
bragging that he could outdo anyone in a feat of
strength. He made a special case of making fun of
one of the older workmen. After several minutes,
the older worker had had enough.

"Why don't you put your money where your mouth is,"
he said. "I will bet a week's wages that I can haul
something in a wheelbarrow over to that outbuilding
that you won't be able to wheel back."

"You're on, old man," the braggart replied. "Let's see
what you got."

The old man reached out and grabbed the
wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to
the young man, he said,

"All right. Get in."
