A husband had just finished reading a new book entitled, "You Can Be The Man of Your House."

He stormed to his wife in the kitchen and announced, "From now on, you need to know that I am the man of this house and my word is Law. You will prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm done eating my meal, you will serve me a scrumptious dessert.

Afterwards, you are going to draw me a bath so I can relax. You will wash my back and towel me dry and bring me my robe. Then, you will massage my feet and hands. Then tomorrow, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?"

The wife replied, "The dang funeral director would be my first guess, unless I have you cremated".

 

Marine Sniper Improvises

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. – Sergeant Jason Pacheco, 23, scout sniper instructor, Division Schools, 1st Marine Division, from Las Vegas, N.M., uses his prosthetic leg as support for an M40 Sniper Rifle on a firing range at Camp Pendleton Aug. 30, 2011. Pacheco suffered a severed leg after an improvised explosive device detonated beneath him during a patrol in Afghanistan August 2010. His leg had to be amputated below his knee. Pacheco uses his prosthetic leg to support the weight of his rifle to show an example of how students can use anything to steady a rifle. He has been an instructor for the Pre-Scout Sniper School since March and recently completed a physical fitness test with his prosthetic leg. He has re-enlisted and said he hopes to continue training in preparation to return to full duty.

Forgive the format. I'm at home and don't have the copies I use at work.
I will also only be here as a lurker
as FR is terribly slow this morning
and I have some chores I hope to get done today.

Now, I have to make my way through the Canteen to see whatz been happening.

But, you stay right where you are.
Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel.
Put down that remote.
Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor.
but not too long
don't want you to strain your eyes. LOL

Now remember, the Canteen is

Come in y'all
and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM
