   Life is short   
       
   A U.S. Marine Colonel was about to start the morning briefing to his staff.   
   While waiting for the coffee machine to finish brewing, the Colonel decided to   
   pose a question to all assembled.   
       
   He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he   
   failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep. He posed the question of just   
   how much of sex was "work" and how much of it was "pleasure?"   
       
   A Major chimed in with 75%-25% in favor of work.   
       
   A Captain said it was 50%-50%.   
       
   A Lieutenant responded with 25%-75% in favor of pleasure, depending upon his   
   state of inebriation at the time.   
       
   There being no consensus, the Colonel turned to the Private First Class, who   
   was in charge of making the coffee, and asked for his opinion.   
       
   Without any hesitation, the young Private First Class responded, "Sir, it has   
   to be 100% pleasure."   
       
   The Colonel was surprised, as you might guess, and asked why.   
       
   "Well, sir, if there was any work involved, the officers would have me doing   
   it for them."   
       
   The room fell silent.   
       
   God Bless the enlisted man.   
       
   Super heroes don't wear capes, they wear Dog Tags.   
       
       
   Regards,
