Standing In Line This man comes to the Pearly Gates and is a little confused as to whereto report to God to get a determination on Heaven or Hell. He sees one sign that says: “For Women” and then notices a sign that says: “For Men.” As he approaches the aisle for men, he sees one window with a sign: “For men who were dominated by women in life”. The line of men standing in that line was very long.
Then he saw another sign that said :”For men who dominated women.” He went to the second window and was the only one in the line.
At the window, God approached him and remarked, “Wow, I have not had a man stand in this line for over a hundred years - you must be a tough person.”
“Well no,” he replied, “My wife told me to stand here.”
Military Wisdom!
1. If the enemy is in range, so are you. 2. Incoming fire has the right of way. 3. Don’t look conspicuous: it draws fire. 4. The easy way is always mined. 5. Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo. 6. Professionals are predictable, it’s the amateurs that are dangerous. 7. The enemy invariably attacks on one of two occasions: When you’re ready for them. When you’re not ready for them. 8. Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy someone else to shoot at. 9. If you can’t remember, the claymore is pointed at you. 10. If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush. 11. Don’t draw fire, it irritates the people around you. 12. The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire. 13. When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend. 14. If it’s stupid but works, it isn’t stupid. 15. When in doubt empty the magazine. 16. Never share a fox hole with anyone braver than you. 17. Anything you do can get you shot. Including doing nothing. 18. Make it too tough for the enemy to get in and you can’t get out. 19. Mines are equal opportunity weapons. 20. A Purple Heart just proves that were you smart enough to think of a plan, stupid enough to try it, and lucky enough to survive. 21. Don’t ever be the first, don’t ever be the last and don’t ever volunteer to do anything. 22. The quartermaster has only two sizes: too large and too small. 23. Five second fuses only last three seconds. 24. It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed.
