Military Sons

"Snoring Problem"

By the time the sailor pulled into a little town,
every hotel room was taken.

"You've got to have a room somewhere," he
pleaded. "Or just a bed, I don't care where."

"Well, I do have a double room with one occupant
- an Air Force guy," admitted the manager, "and
he might be glad to split the cost. But to tell you
the truth, he snores so loudly that people in
adjoining rooms have complained in the past.
I'm not sure it'd be worth it to you."

"No problem," the tired Navy man assured him.
"I'll take it."

The next morning the sailor came down to
breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

"How'd you sleep?" asked the manager.

"Never better."

The manager was impressed. "No problem
with the other guy snoring?"

"Nope, I shut him up in no time" said the Navy guy.

"How'd you manage that?" asked the manager.

"He was already in bed, snoring away, when I
came in the room," the sailor explained.
"I went over, gave him a kiss on the cheek,
and said, 'Goodnight, beautiful,' and he sat up
all night watching me."

"Military Sons"

Three men are sitting stiffly side by side
on a long commercial flight.

After they're airborne and the plane has leveled
off, the man in the window seat abruptly says,
distinctly and confidently, in a loud voice,
"Admiral, United States Navy, retired.
Married, two sons, both surgeons."

After a few minutes the man in the aisle seat
states through a tight lipped smile,
"Admiral, United States Coast Guard, retired.
Married, two sons, both Judges."

After some thought, the fellow in the center
seat decides to introduce himself.
With a twinkle in his eye he proclaims,
"Master Chief Gunnery Sergeant, United
States Marines, retired. Never married,
two sons, both Admirals.
