A young, freshly minted lieutenant was sent
to Bosnia as part of the peace keeping mission.
During a briefing on land mines, the captain
asked for questions.

Our intrepid solder raised his hand and asked,
"If we do happen to step on a mine, Sir, what
do we do?"

"Normal procedure, Lieutenant, is to jump 200
feet in the air and scatter oneself over a
wide area."

Stepping on a land mine could create quite the problem. Really good jokes today, tom. Thanks.

Thanks for the graphics and information everyone! They are awesome! The jokes are pretty funny too.

Here's an oldie but goodie:

One day at the end of class little Johnny's teacher has the
class go home and think of a story and then
conclude the moral of that story. The following day the
teacher asks for the first volunteer to tell their story,
little Suzy raises her hand.

"My dad owns a farm and every Sunday we load the chicken
eggs on the truck and drive into town to sell them at the market.
Well, one Sunday we hit a big bump and
all the eggs flew out of the basket and onto the road."

The teacher asks for the moral of the story. Suzy
replies, "Don't keep all your eggs in one basket."
Next is little Lucy. "Well my dad owns a farm too and every
weekend we take the chicken eggs and put them in the incubator.
Last weekend only 8 of the 12 eggs hatched."

The teacher asks for the moral of the story. Lucy
replies "Don't count your eggs before they're hatched."

Last is little Johnny. "My uncle Ted fought in the Vietnam
war; his plane was shot down over enemy territory.
He jumped out before it crashed with only a case of beer,
a machine gun and a machete. On the way
down he drank the case of beer. Unfortunately,
he landed right in the middle of 100 Vietnamese soldiers.
He shot 70 with his machine gun, but ran out of bullets,
so he pulled out his machete and killed 20 more.
The blade on his machete broke, so he killed the last ten with his bare hands".

Teacher looks in shock at Johnny and asks if there is
possibly any moral to his story.

Johnny replies, "Don't f@#$ with uncle Ted when he's been drinking!"
