One private asked another: "How did you manage
to get arrested by MPs, Mac?"
"Well, I was out very late on a binge with a friend and he
advised me to take off my uniform and shoes when I got to the
barracks, and sneak up the stairs quietly so that if the sergeant
sees me he may think I was just visiting the head."
"So what?"
"Well, when I got upstairs I found I was on top of a bus
without any clothes on."
The little brother of an Army radar operator asked:
"Jim, tell me how does a radar work?". "The radar
transmitter emits brief impulses of electromagnetic waves which
are reflected from the target and received by a special receiver.
Since the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate is exactly
known and the time they take to travel to the target and back
can be determined with a great degree of accuracy it is possible
to determine the range to the target as well as the direction
to it." His brother pondered a moment, then said: "As
long as you don't know, Jim, why don't you just say so?"
"You've got a touch of pneumonia," said
the medical officer after examining the new enlistee. "Are
you sure, sir?" queried one worried man. "I have known
people in civvy street to be told they have pneumonia but then
to die of something quite different." "You are not in
civil life, Samson. You're in the Army!" thundered the medical
officer. "And if you get treated in the Army for pneumonia,
you die of pneumonia."

US Against Iraq |
It was announced today that Canada is now prepared
to help the United States in its war against terrorism. They have
promised to commit 2 of their largest battleships, 6,000 armed
troops, and 60 fighter jets. However, after the exchange rate,
that comes down to a canoe, 2 Mounties, and a flying squirrel.
