The Army Airborne major was used to harassment from Air Force fliers about
crazy Army paratroopers jumping out of perfectly good aircraft.
"Obviously the Air Force knows there's no such thing as a 'perfectly good
aircraft,' " the irritated officer finally countered one afternoon, "because
they pay you bastards four times as much to stay in one as the Army pays its
men to jump."
"You've got it all wrong, Major," an Air Force sergeant replied. "The
Army figures anyone stupid enough to jump out of an airplane voluntarily is
gonna be too dumb to bitch about the salary."
