downstairs blocked by fire.
They then went up to the roof. The guests consisted of a Army Captain, a Navy
Captain, a Air Force Col., and a Marine Major.
The fire truck soon arrived and the firemen held out a net and yelled up "Ok
Groundpounder jump" The Army Captain responded " I am an Officer and
Gentlemen in the United States Army and you will address me as such." The
firemen yelled back "Ok Captain sir jump" the Captain jumped the firemen
moved the net and the Captain splattered on the ground.

"I graduated from the Naval Academy and you will show respect." The
firemen yelled up "Ok sir jump" again the firemen moved the net and
another splat.

"I am a top ace in the Air Force and I deserve respect." the firemen
said "Ok pilot sir jump" they again moved the net and another splat.

"I'm not stupid like those other guys you're not moving the net on me.
