  Here's a joke that an Army friend of mine told me.  (Army people love
to dog the Marines, I guess.) The joke requires gestures, and will lose
much of its effect electronically, but I guarantee you'll get roars
from the people you tell.


  In the Army, they call helicopters "choppers",
  In the Navy, they call them "copters",
  In the Air Force, they call them "whirlybirds",
  So, what do they call them in the Marine Corps?

  (point to the sky and cower in fright)  "Oooooo!.... Ooo Ooo Ooo...!"

  [I found that crawling under furniture helps too.]




Found them?  In Mercyhurst?  The coconut's tropical!
