Happy Birthday to The Corps, all of Uncle Sams Misguided Children, and especially those that I am related to.

Thank you all for your service, we can never repay you for what you have done, and it should be our duty to never forget that.

Subject: U.S. Marine Corps Facts…

Outrageous but true!

U.S. Marine Corps Facts…

Fear of spiders is arachnophobia, fear of tight spaces is claustrophobia, fear of Marines is called Logic.

There used to be a street named after the Marines, but it was changed because nobody crosses the Marines and lives.

Some Marines have a grizzly bear carpet in their room. The bear isn’t dead, it is just afraid to move.

The Marines have already been to Mars; that’s why there are no signs of life.

Some magicians can walk on water, Marines can swim through land.

Ghosts sit around the campfire and tell Marine stories.

Death once had a near-Marine experience.

The Marine is the reason why Waldo is hiding.

A Marine won American Idol using only sign language.

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Marines.

There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals the Marines allow to live.

When a Marine does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.

Prisons don’t keep society safe from criminals. Prisons keep criminals safe from the Marines, for now.

Outer space exists because it’s afraid to be on the same planet with Marines.

When a Marine is born, the only person crying was the doctor. You never slap a Marine.

When a Marine throws you into a bottomless pit, you hit the bottom.

If a Marine's weapon were to ever run out of ammo, his weapon would continue to fire out of fear of disappointing the Marine.

Guns are warned not to play with a Marine.

A Marine…

...counted to infinity – twice.

...can build a house from the roof down.

...doesn’t call the wrong number. You answer the wrong phone.

...and Superman once fought each other on a bet. The loser had to start wearing his underwear on the outside of his trousers.

...can cut through a hot knife with butter

...doesn’t flush the toilet, he scares the **** out of it.

...can slam a revolving door.

...will never have a heart attack. His heart isn’t nearly foolish enough to attack him.

...once kicked a horse in the chin. Its descendants are known today as Giraffes.

...once got bit by a rattle snake. After three days of pain and agony … the rattle snake died.

...can light a fire by rubbing two ice-cubes together.

...doesn’t read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

…doesn’t wear a watch. He decides what time it is.
...does not sleep. He waits.

...once made a Happy Meal cry.

...runs until the treadmill gets tired.

...doesn’t mow his lawn, he dares the grass to grow.

...can give aspirin a headache.

Death smiles at all of us...Marines smile back.

I gave up alcohol but on this day I have one drink in honor of the people I knew while in the Marines.

A lot of the friends are gone as we get older. Some were lost in 1965 but a few of remain.
