This really happened.
When I was stationed at Fort Hood, I headed up a group of five or six soldiers tasked to take out the HQ tents, spread 'em, check 'em, and make sure they were put away properly. It was a hot day even by Texas standards, and hard work on an asphalt surface, which might have led to what occurred.
One of the guys was humming and whistling in a non-committal sort of way, the way many of us do when trying to keep the mind active during some mindless task; at one particular point, he started singing softly,
"You make me feel...
You make me feel...
You make me feel like a..."
He broke off and looked up and found the rest of us staring at him.
No one said a word. I think one of the girls snickered just a little.
He shrugged, returned to his task, and
"...natural womannnn...."
No... it's Lefse.

bwaaahahahhaaa... that's priceless....
I remember we had a guy on our boat that every time we went to general quarters... and all the stations manned up the sound-powered-phones... everybody would check in and report. Then the inevitable long periods of silence would go on and on and on...
Suddenly the sound-powered-phones would all light up with:
"Roooooxxxannnne... "
"You dooon't have to put on the reeeeeed liiiiighhhht.... "
[Its funnier if you know that during GQ all the white lights are either put out or shifted to red.]
Every stinkin' time. Got to be where we counted on it. :-)

oops...2300 here. Taps should have sounded by now. See y'all.
Taps it is, then.

Ooh, big no-no in Cheesehead Country! That needs to get emailed to the Green Bay news station! Their coverage of Kerry has already been pretty negative. A couple weeks ago they were interviewing Kerry's local spokesman for a response to the Swift Boat ads, and the guy got really defensive and kept ducking the question. The news clip then showed the guy continuing to talk while a voiceover cut in, "Eventually we *finally* got him to answer the question. . ."
Heh, I think I read about that on an FR thread.
BTW, who do the Packers play this weekend?
Good night for us too...
You know.... Early to bed and early to rise....
...makes a man healthy, wealthy, and exhausted for the rest of the day. Yah.
Niters.
I think I mentioned it before somewhere. It was pretty funny :)
The Packers play the Jaguars in Jacksonville tomorrow night at 7.
mmmmmmmmmmmm.... Krispy Kreme...
