"So You Want To Be A U.S. Marine?"

[Phantom Blooper]

In the beginning was the word, and the word was GOD. In the beginning
was GOD and all else was darkness and void, and without form. So GOD
created the heavens and the earth. He created the sun, and the moon and
the stars, so that light might pierce the darkness, the earth, GOD
divided between the land and the sea and these He filled with many
assorted creatures. And the dark, salty, slimy creatures that inhabited
the murky depths of the ocean, God called sailors, and he dressed them
accordingly, with little trousers that looked like bells at the bottom
and the cute little flaps on their shirts to hide hickies on their
necks. He also gave them long sideburns and shabby looking beards. God
nicknamed them "squids" and banished them to a lifetime at sea so that
normal folks would not have to associate with them. To further identify
these unloved creatures, He called them petty and commodore instead of
titles worthy of red-blooded men.

And the flighty creatures of the land, God called soldiers. And with a
twinkle in His eye, and a sense of humor that only He could have, God
made their trousers too short, and covers too large, and pockets to warm
their hands. And to adorn their uniforms, God gave them badges in
quantities that only a dime store owner could appreciate.

And He gave
them emblems and crests, and all sorts of shiny things that
glittered.... and devices that dangled. (When you are God, you tend to
get carried away in a big way)....

On the fifth day, He thought about creating some creatures for which he
designed a greyhound bus driver's uniform especially for flyboys but he
discarded the idea the first week and it was not until years later that
some apostles "resurrected" this theme and established what we now know
as the wild blue yonder wonders...

And on the 7th day as you know, God rested.

And on the 10th day, at 0730, God looked down upon the earth and was not
happy. God was not happy!!!!!!!!!

So He thought about His labors and His Infinite wisdom, God created a
divine creature and this he called Marine. And these Marines who God had
created in His own image were to be of the air and of the land and of
the sea.. And these He gave many wonderful uniforms..


Some were green,
some were blue with red trim and in these early days, some were even a
beautiful tan.

He gave them practical service uniforms for their daily work and
training that they might be sharp and ready.....and He gave them evening
and dress uniforms, sharp, stylish handsome things, so that they might
promenade with their ladies on Saturday night and impress the hell out
of everybody!!


He even gave them swords so that people who were not impressed could be
dealt with... And at the end of the 8th day, God looked down upon the
earth and saw that it was good..

But was God Happy??? NO!!! God was still not happy!!! Because in the
course of His labors, He had forgotten one thing... He did not have a
Marine uniform Himself!!! But, He thought about it, and thought about it
and finally satisfied Himself in knowing that. . .well. . .not everybody
can be a U.S.MARINE...


SEMPER FI!

I am a U.S. Marine! No wanting about it here. I earned and claimed that EGA! Nothing could have stopped me either! I'd rather have died then to fail becoming a U.S. Marine.
