Humor in Uniform
My mom was ex-army, so during the holidays she and Dad would invite local Marines from Camp Pendleton over for dinner. One night, my sister came home from work at Kentucky Fried Chicken, still in her uniform. One of the Marines asked where she’d been.
“I’ve been to visit the colonel,” my sister joked. The Marine looked confused. “Colonel Sanders!” she explained.
“Sorry, ma’am,” he said, “I don’t know those higher-ups.” —Steve Chiales

A young airman showed up at formation needing a shave. When I asked why he hadn’t taken care of that before he arrived, he complained, “Somebody moved my piano.”
“Why would moving the piano cause you to miss shaving?” I asked.
His reply: “My razor was on the piano.” —Robert Rhodes
