Air Force counterpart who whispered what he'd seen in the Marine Major's ear.

Attempts to verify the theory by modern computer simulation have failed. Instead, it has been demonstrated repeatedly that computer outputs depend upon the color of the programmer's eyes, or occasionally upon the month of his or her birth.

A Maintenance Battalion in Germany had just received a brand new Executive Officer, an Armor Major.

The Sergeant felt that he had no choice, the report HAD to get to Division; so he got into his Jeep and started to Division Headquarters. As he got to the gate, the XO stopped him. In a very sarcastic voice he said, "Aren't we paying our drivers a lot these days?" The NCO, without missing a beat re plied, "Not at all, Sir, when you consider what we are paying gate guards."

"He's just thankful," I shot back, "that I didn't go into psychology."
