A group of American soldiers were bivouaced somewhere in the Pacific during WWII. As per regulations, the battalion medical officer was conducting a sanitation inspection. He addressed the sergeant who was in charge of the troops. "Sergeant," the doctor asked, "what procedures do you use to make the water safe for your men to drink?" The sergeant, a grand old Irishman, replied, "Sir, first we use iodine tablets." The doctor said "Very good." "Then we use halazone." The doctor nodded and said, "Excellent." "Then we boil it for fifteen minutes." The doctor smiled, "Excellent." "Following that, we filter it through charcoal." "Outstanding, Sergeant!" "And then, just to be sure, we drink beer."
I'm a WASP, and wish there were more jokes about my heritage. I've seen a few and they made me laugh.
I think it is good that we poke fun at ourselves and our heritage.
All of my friends shoot barbs amoung ouselves. We never go over the top though.
One friend was building a dock on the lake. I told him that he had to put in a beer recovery system in case the cooler fell over. He looked at our other neighbor an retorted, "Well, Mark (me), we'll just tie a rope to your sorry little ass, and you can retrieve the beers!"
