Quote:

Three men are sitting stiffly side by side on a long commercial
flight. After they're airborne and the plane has leveled off, the man
in the window seat abruptly says, distinctly and confidently, in a
low voice, "General, United States Army, retired. Married, two sons,
both surgeons."

After a few minutes the man in the aisle seat states through a tight
lipped smile, "General, United States Air Force, retired. Married,
two sons, both judges."

After some thought, the fellow in the center seat decides to
introduce himself. With a twinkle in his eye, he proclaims: "Master
Gunnery Sergeant, United States Marine Corps, retired. Never married,
two sons, both Generals."

OK. I'm gonna steal that puppy. Only I'm going to change "Master
Gunnery Sergeant" to Chief.
