    The tyrannical sergeant major is called to the Colonel's office: "Smith's mother has just died can you tell him?" So the sergeant calls his men to the parade ground....

    "Squad attention!, Smith your mother's dead!", squad dismissed'.

    Smith walks away tears streaming down his face. Later on the Colonel tells the sergeant that Smith's father has also died and can he break the news gently this time. So once again sergeant calls his men to the parade ground...

    "Squad attention! All those with fathers take one step forward. Smith where the hell do you think your going!"
    The men of Charlie Company had been in the field for two weeks when the Sarge announces, "I've got good news and bad news. First the good news. Today we're going to change our underwear."
    The troops started cheering at the news.
    "Now the bad news. Smith, you change with Jones. Andrews, you change with Murphy."
    A young man hired by a supermarket reported for his first day of work. The manager greeted him with a warm handshake and a smile, gave him a broom and said, "Your first job will be to sweep out the store."
    "But I'm a college graduate," the young man replied indignantly.
    "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that," said the manager. "Here, give me the broom - I'll show you how."
    A gynecologist who had lost interest in his medical practice decided to change careers and enrolled in auto mechanic school.
    He performed well in the course but was still shocked when he got an off-the-chart 200 on his final exam. He asked the instructor to explain the grade.
    "I gave you 50 points for taking the engine apart correctly," the teacher said, "50 points for putting it back together correctly -- and an extra 100 points for doing it all through the exhaust."
    A man had just been laid off from work. He was standing on the railing of a high bridge getting read to jump off, when he happened to look down and see a little man with no arms dancing all around on the river bank below. He thought to himself, "Life isn't so bad after all," and got off the railing. He then walked down to the river bank to thank the little man for saving his life. "Thank you," he said. "I was going to jump off that bridge and kill myself, but when I saw you dancing even though you have no arms, I changed my mind."
    "Dancing? I'm not dancing!" the armless man replied bitterly... "My assh*le itches, and I can't scratch it!"
    A woman calls her boss one morning and tells him that she is staying home because she is not feeling well.
    What's the matter?" he asks.
    "I have a case of anal glaucoma," she says in a weak voice.
    He says,"What the hell is anal glaucoma?"
    She replies,"I can't see myself getting my arse into work today."
