It’s a combination sand-remover and sobriety tester.
You have to balance on it and wipe the sand off each shoe in turn.
If you can’t do it, you’re too drunk to come aboard!

Real pedantry.

True story, we were in Oz and she said to me

"I'm going to stick my head into Woolworths to see how big it is".

I replied "there's no need to do that, just check inside your bicycle helmet".

The plot thinckens. I'm in NZ and it's visible to me.

As it happens I knew a guy in college who used to wipe his dick on the curtains after a wank, so he said, pointing out that the curtains were really stiff after a couple of weeks. True story. Ok he might have been bullshitting (tho not that kind of a guy), but why smear yourself with such a story?

A lot of meat is sold as mutton dressed as lamb....

Which US president did not speak English as a first language?

Essex girl Tracey was delighted when finally her long wait to adopt a baby came to an end. The adoption center called and told her she had a wonderful Russian baby boy and the same day, took him without hesitation.

On the way home from the adoption center, she stopped by the local college so she could enroll in night courses. After she filled out the form, the registration clerk inquired, "What ever possessed you to study Russian?"

She said proudly, "I just adopted a Russian baby and in a year or so he'll start to talk. I just want to be able to understand him."

seeing the posts on not seeing the posts made me think of LOOOOng time ago. My brother and I took a test together. My brother failed it. I and 90 +% of class passed. Dad asked about test , brother said the teacher did not explain it well enough. I said I passed. Dad said you got nothing to complain about. It is your brother that was not treated fairly.
I see your posts so not complaining keep them coming.

For those who enjoy military history, know a little about tanks, or understand the feeling when meeting her family for the first time, you may appreciate this one.

Scouts out! (Sorry, it was a mini flashback!)

SoCalMax, the new tanks are pretty good and a LOT safer to be in than the old ones. Many even have blow off panels with a ballistic shield between the ammo and the crew. The blow off panels pop if the ammo goes up, in theory diverting the force of the explosion from the crew which is protected, again in theory, from the exploding ammo.

Some things hurt a tanker. Everything hurts an infantryman. Plus I don't have to hump a pack! I also happened to wire in an AM/FM stereo into the intercom. I was thoroughly trained at being cold/hot, wet, and miserable. I didn't need any more training!!

Back to the jokes!!
If you tell the Army "Secure that building!" they will surround it with armor and heavy infantry and not let anyone out of it until told to. (The truth is that I would indeed surround it as described, but then I would call for artillery and air support and wait until the smoldering is reduced while in overwatch. Overkill is usually better than underkill!!)

If you tell the Marines "Secure that building!" they will storm the building, eliminate any resistance, and allow no one to enter it until told to.

If you tell the Navy "Secure that building!" they will turn out the lights, close and lock all doors and windows and post a fire watch

If you tell the Air Force "Secure that building!" they will take out a 30 year lease with an option to buy.
