Speaking the Same Language
A crusty old Team Sergeant found himself at a gala event, hosted by a
local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of extremely young,
idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Team Sergeant for conversation.
She said, "Excuse me, Master Sergeant, but you seem to be a very serious man.
Is something bothering you?"
"Negative, ma'am," the Team Sergeant said, "Just serious by nature."
The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, "It looks
like you have seen a lot of action."
The Team Sergeant's short reply was, "Yes, ma'am, a lot of action."
The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said, "You
know, you should lighten up a little. Relax and enjoy yourself."
The Team Sergeant just stared at her in his serious manner.
Finally the young lady said, "You know, I hope you don't take this the
wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?"
The Team Sergeant looked at her and replied, "1955."
She said, "Well, there you are. You really need to chill out and quit
taking everything so seriously! I mean, no sex since 1955! Isn't that a
little extreme?"
The Team Sergeant, glancing at his watch, said in his matter-of-fact
voice, "You think so? It's only 2130 now."
