Jokes SMILE FOR THE CAMERA

-

When my husband visited our son, Michael, at boot camp, he found him marching smartly with his unit.

Michael’s father proudly approached the soldiers and began to snap photo after photo.

Embarrasse­d and worried about getting into trouble, Michael looked straight ahead and didn’t change his expression.

Suddenly his drill sergeant barked, “Comito, give me 25 push-ups. And the next time your daddy wants your picture, you smile!”

SMART ONES

One of my jobs in the Army is to give service members and their families tours of the demilitari­sed zone in South Korea. Before taking people to a lookout point to view North Korea, we warn visitors to watch their heads climbing the stairs, as there is a low overhang.

The tour guide, first to the top, gets to see how many people have not heeded his advice.

On one tour I watched almost an entire unit hit their heads one after another as they came up the stairs. Curious, I asked their commander what unit they were from.

“Military intelligen­ce,” he replied.
