Interesting...I met General Lavelle back in the 71-72 timeframe in Hawaii. I think he was PACAF Commander at the time. I was a young Lieutenant of Marines and dated his daughter a few times. One time I had dinner at their quarters at Hickam AFB - I remember feeling a bit weird being attended by Air Force stewards. Anyway, I didn’t embarrass the Marine Corps by asking Mrs. Lavelle to “please pass the f#cking potatoes”!
You remembered to omit the "please"? ;)
LOLOL,good one, MARINE!

DANG! You MUST have really liked this girl! LOL!
As would any well mannered Marine, you simply grabbed a glob of mashed potatoes, dipped your hand in the gravy and deposited the combination on your plate.
