Brave solider

Gen. McKenzie was in charge of the Navy, and he was visiting his colleague, Gen. Marshall, who was in charge of the Army. McKenzie arrived at the military camp and was greeted by Marshall. They both walk around the place, and McKenzie asked, “So how are your men?”

“Very well trained, Gen. McKenzie.”

“I hope so. You see, my men over at the Navy are so well trained, I would say they’re the bravest men in the military.”

“Well, my men are very brave, too,” said Marshall. “I’d like to see that.” So Marshall called a private over. “Private Johnson! See that tank coming? I want you to stop it with your body!”

Pvt. Johnson said, “Are you crazy? It’d kill me, you idiot! I’m out of here!” He turned and ran away.

Marshall turned to a bewildered McKenzie and said, “You see? You have to be pretty brave to talk like that to a general.”

GOTchas

› BridgerWinegar @ bridger_w:

Game of Thrones is exciting, but I think it’s important to remember that these people are fighting over a chair.

Why doesn’t George R.R. Martin use Twitter? Because he killed all 140 characters.

At this point, the only thing that could shock me on Game of Thrones is if someone died of natural causes.

Guy on subway: I didn’t say anything.

Age is a number

A grandpa, who was turning 72, and his granddaughter, who was turning 7, had their birthdays on the same day.

The granddaughter told her grandpa that he was a lot older then her.

Being older and wiser, he said “No, we are the same age.”

She said, “But grandpa, I am only 7. What number are you?”

He replied, “Yes, you are, and I am only seven-two!”
