The old mariner was spinning a yarn. "Yes, for three days and nights we
worked at the pumps, and still the water gains on us. At last we gave up the
hopeless struggle. There we was-sinkin', sinkin', expecting to perish every
'art a minute. It was horful time, believe me. Suddenlike we feels the vessel
arising up through the water. She riz til her keel was a'most out o'water, and
we rides into port right on top o'the waves. We was saved! What happened was,
they had some yeast prepared to bake bread in the galley, and then the water
reached it, it rose and rose, till fairly lifted up the ship!"...

An Air Force Fighter Pilot - dressed to kill in his dress blues - went to a

asked him, "Are you a real fighter pilot?"
To which he replied, "Well, I fly F-16s every single day of the week, so
I guess I am."
After a short while he asked her what she was. She replied, "I am a lesbian.
I spend my whole day thinking about women. I get up in the morning thinking
of women, when I eat, shower, watch TV - everything makes me think of women."
A short while later she left, and the fighter pilot ordered another drink. A
couple sat down next to him and asked, "Are you a real fighter pilot?"
"I always thought I was," he answered, "but I just found out
that I'm a lesbian."...

Ode to old soldier
Now that your nookie days are over and your pilot light is out, what used to
be your sex appeal is now your water spout! Time was when, of it's own accord,
from your trousers it would spring, but now you've got a full time job to find
the blasted thing!
It used to be embarrassing the way it would behave, every single morning it
would stand up and watch you shave!
Now as old age approaches, it sure gives you the blues to see it hang it's little
head and watch you tie your shoes. ...
