Humor in Uniform 5/7/2010

5/7/2010
While serving in the Persian Gulf, I was living in one of the tent cities that housed many of the troops.  The tents were pitched so close together that the ropes crisscrossed.   As I was heading back from chow, rifle slung over my shoulder, I decided to take a shortcut between the tents.  Soldiers living there had hung their laundry on the out-stretched ropes, but I deftly ducked under them.  As I emerged from the tangle and continued down another pathway, a pair of soldier’s pointed and laughed at me.   Puzzled, I turned around to find a pair of men’s underwear swinging from the muzzle of my rifle.
