When Gunny was a young Marine at boot camp his lot were called out for Birthday Suit Inspection.
It was 05:00 in the morning at the U.S. Marine boot camp, well below
freezing, and the Marines were asleep in their barracks. The drill
sergeant walks in and bellows, "THIS IS A BIRTHDAY SUIT INSPECTION!!!!!!!! I wanna
see you's all formed up outside butt naked NOW!"
So, they jumped out of bed, naked and shivering, and ran
outside to form up in three ranks. The Sarge walked out and yells,
"Close up the ranks, conserve your body heat!" So they close in slightly...
The captain comes along with his swagger stick. He goes to the first
Marine and whacks him right across the chest with it.
"DID THAT HURT?" he yells.
"No, Sir!" came the reply.
"Why not?"
"Because I'm a Marine, Sir!"
The captain is impressed, and walks on to the next man. He takes the stick
and whacks the soldier right across the rear.
"Did THAT hurt?"
"No, Sir!"
"Why not?"
"Because I'm a Marine, Sir!"
Still extremely impressed, the captain walks to the third guy, and sees he
has an enormous erection. Naturally, he gave his target a huge WHACK with
the swagger stick.
"Did THAT hurt?"
"No, Sir!"
"Why not?"
"Because it belongs to the guy behind me, Sir!"
And who was that man in the second rank? I'm sure you need no telling.
