On a rather slow day, to further cement amicable relations between branches,
the DoD came up with a plan to have a massive camping trip involving all the
actively enlisted men.
A grunt, a sailor and an airman found themselves together at a covered mess
table.
After customary greeting grunts, they decided might as well make the best of
a bad situation and try to get along. The sailor spoke first.
"Hey. What didja guys bring along?"
"Well, I brought some bug spray." The grunt said.
"Whatzzat for?" The other two replied
"Keep the bugs off, you dumb-asses."
After several minutes of silence, the sailor spoke up again, nodding to the
airman.
"Whatdidja bring?"
"Brought a sleeping bag."
"Why did ya do that? We already got some supplied." The grunt pointed
out.
The pampered airman responded, "Yea well, they didn't have the nice thermal-padded
ones."
Rolling his eyes, the grunt looked ready to kick the airman's ass. As he was
standing up, the sailor coughed politely. The other two look him over to the
sailor, who was grinning ear to ear. The airman asked the question which the
sailor so obviously wanted to be asked.
"What did you bring?"
"A car door."
"What the hell would you need a car door for?!" The throughly agitated
grunt yelped.
The sailor's toothy smile got larger.
"If we get hot, we can roll the window down."
