Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because Six hasn't been the same since he left Vietnam. Every time he closes his eyes, he's sees Charlie hiding in the darkness of the forest. Not that you could ever see those bastards, mind you. They were fast and they knew their way around the jungle. He remembers the looks on the boy's faces when they walked into that village and... oh Jesus. He shouldn't think about that now. Sometimes he still hears Tex's slow southern drawl. He remembers the smell of Brooklyn's cigar

So the army is forced to cut the pensions of some of their veterans... In order to repay the veterans for their service they bring in three veterans. They tell the three that they will be reimbursed in money, in that each one can choose two points of their body, and the distance between the two will be how much money they receive. Anyway, the first man goes and says, ""I'll have my outstretched wingspan measured."" His wingspan is 160cm, so he is given $160. The second man chooses the top of his

Two guys and a union worker were fishing on a lake one day, when Jesus walked across the water and joined them in the boat. When the three astonished men had settled down enough to speak, the first guy asked humbly, ""Jesus, I've suffered from back pain ever since I took shrapnel in the Vietnam war...could you help me?"" ""Of course, my son"", Jesus said, and when he touched the man's back, he felt relief for the first time in years. The second man, who wore very thick glasses and had a hard tim

The Vietnam newbie was told they didn't have any more M-16's... and he should just point his finger and yell "BANGITY! BANGITY! BANG!" He's out on patrol, he sees enemy soldiers and points his finger. "BANGITY! BANGITY! BANG!" Much to his amazement, the enemy soldiers fall to the ground dead. He continues on his way, killing more and more VC. But then he sees an enemy soldier steadfastly walking towards him, and the "BANGITY! BANGITY! BANG!" doesn't work. He tries again, "BANGI

A week before Memorial Day, kids bring pictures of veteran family members to school for show and tell. First up was Mary. "My daddy served in Afghanistan. He was a paratrooper." "A paratrooper?" Asked the teacher, who was awed. "Yes, please look closer -- you can see his jump badge." Second was Joe. "My granny served in Vietnam. She was a doctor." "A doctor?" Asked the teacher, who was moved. "Yeah, see? That's a stethoscope hanging around her neck." Third was little Johnny, "This is my g

Why was six afraid of seven? Six hasn't been the same since he left Vietnam. He can seldom close his eyes without opening them again at fear of Charlies lurking in the jungle trees. Not that you could ever see the bastards, mind you. They were swift, and they knew their way around the jungle like nothing else. He remembers the looks on the boys' faces as he walked into that village and... oh, Jesus. The memories seldom left him, either. Sometimes he'd reminisce - even hear - Tex's southern draw

They offered $10,000 in severance pay for each inch of their body to be measured however they chose. The Air Force general went first. He said he wanted to be measured from his head to his toe. He was 69 inches. He received $690,000. Next up was the Army general. He wanted to be measured from the tip of his finger to the tip of his other finger. It was 80 inches. He recei

A LESSON IN MORALS One day at the end of class, little Johnny's teacher asks the class to go home and think of a story to be concluded with the moral of that story.
