Boot Camp Joke
As the sun rose over Parris Island, the senior drill
instructor realized that one of his recruits had gone AWOL. A search party
was dispatched immediately. After a few hours the recruit was discovered
hiding in some bushes. He was sent back to the base and promptly escorted
to the drill instructor's office. The instructor asked the young recruit,
"Why did you go AWOL?"
The recruit replied, "My first day here you issued me a comb, and then
proceeded to cut my hair off. The second day you issued me a toothbrush,
and sent me to the dentist, who proceeded to pull all my teeth. The third
day you issued me a jock strap, and I wasn't about to stick around and
find out what would follow that SIR."
