SF Joke of the Day

[Richard]

Four guys were walking down a street in Naples, Florida, when they turned a corner and saw a sign that said:

Old Timers Bar - All Drinks 10 Cents

They looked at each other, and then went in, thinking this was just too good to be true.

The old bartender said in a voice that carried across the room, "Come on in and let me pour one for you! What'll it be, Gentlemen?"

There seemed to be a fully-stocked bar, so each of the men asked for a martini. In short order, the bartender served up four chilled martinis...and said, "That'll be 10 cents each, please."

The four men stared at the bartender for a moment. They couldn't believe their good luck, paid the 40 cents, finished their martinis, and ordered another round. Again, four chilled martinis were produced with the bartender again saying, "That's 40 cents, please."

They paid the 40 cents...but their curiosity was more than they could stand.

They have each had two beers and so far they'd spent less than a dollar.

Finally one of the men said, "How can you afford to serve drinks for a dime a piece and stay in business?"

"Well...I'm a retired cop from Boston," the bartender began, "and I always wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the Lottery for $25 million and decided to open this place. Every drink costs a dime - wine, liquor, beer - it's all the same."

"That's quite a story," said one of the men. "Bring us another round."

The four of them sipped at their martinis and couldn't help but notice seven other people at the end of the bar who didn't have drinks in front of them and hadn't ordered anything the whole time they were there.

One of the men gestured at the seven at the end of the bar without drinks and asked the bartender, "What's with them?"

The bartender said, "Oh, they're all old retired Special Forces Sergeants Major...and they're just waiting for happy hour when drinks are half price."

I knew an SF Sergeant Major who kept a refrigerator in his office and didn't have to go to the bar for Happy Hour. Every day at 17:00 he unplugged his phone and offered any visitors a beer. All drinkers had to make a small donation though.

Ah, the good 'ol days.

When I first came into SF (late 70's) many of the team rooms had Bars in them and the ones that didn't still had a full size refrigerator stocked full of beer.

Dispite world events, I thought something light-hearted might do us some good....


Christopher M. Connors died, an old vet of WWII. While waiting for St. Peter to arrive at the Pearly Gate, he sees a sign reading, "Veteran's Day - Welcome all Vets of Earth's Battles - Please see Host for vetting, have Regimental Coin, or have your ISG, SGM, CSM present. Possers will be sent to HELL for the day!"

Once St. Peter arrived, Mr. Connors asked, "Is it really Veteran's day in Heaven, can I attend? I'd like to see some old friends if they happen to be here". St. Peter says, "Absolutely, Christopher, welcome, it's not often we have new arriving vets on Veteran's Day".

St. Peter continues, "Good news Christopher, your father who served in WWI is here, he sure is a delight, nice old man, seems he lived a good life after the war. Your oldest son John, who died in Vietnam, '69 is here also, as well as your grandson, Kent, who recently died while serving in Iraq. You will find them organized by Country, Region, Regiment, Century or Campaign. A lunch is planned between 1200-1400 hrs, local time, with beer being served starting at 0800 hrs., seems the Vikings of the Holland campaign like to start early, or was it the Romans? Nonetheless, enjoy yourself, by night fall, camp fires will be everywhere, and caos will look familar. There will be armies all mixed together, some drinking, some crying, others calling each other SOB".

"Anything I should know before I enter?", asks Mr. Connors. St. Peter replies, "Don't be too alarmed if you see battle formations. Troy and Greece have this thing for reinactment. Also, Michael still likes to wrestle with a few Angles from time to time. There are dancing girls with Alexander the Great, but he seems not interested, funny kid. But do check out the static disply of Samuari armor, it's cool".

Mr. Connors looked perplexed. He never heard of Veteran's Day in Heaven. The tought of seeing all of earth's armies for all centuries gathered together for a day of fun, battle, beer, Irish Shepperds pie, BBQ pork, wine, and dancing girls for entertainment. 'Wow!', was all he could say.

As he looked accross the landscape, he saw armies gathered for war, fortifications being built, troops massing, battle cries and all manner of preperation for war being worked. David and Galiath faced off agian, generals argued, soldiers hurried with assignments. Food, wine, it was heaven.

In the midst of all this he saw a mighty man, tall, strong, long white hair blowing in the wind. He was naked above the waist, strong arms folded accross a massive chest, muscles tight, a smile upon his lips. Atop his head he wore a Green Beret.

Mr. Connors turned to St. Peter and asked, "Who is that?". St Peter replies, "That is GOD". Mr. Connors asks, "GOD served? He was a Special Forces soldier?".

St. Peter replies, "No, this is his day to get out of the office and he just likes the hat".


Happy Veteran's Day

He's the Father of all his Special Forces children, by default, "he's good to go".

Personally, I'd like to see a little Old Testement, God-like action against a few of our enemies right now.

Happy Veteran's Day.

Read this nice Introduction today (don't want to call too much attention to the author) "I now know what my focus and goal in life is, and that it to be a member of U.S. Army Special Forces. I've submitted my DD 368 to my command and I am currently waiting on a answer, hoping and praying to god that it is approved. Should we tell him?
