   Always fun to tweak the noses of friendly Marines, like:   
      
   Q: Why does each USNavy ship have one Marine on board? A: A sheep would be too   
   obvious.   
      
   I tell that oneto Maruinesm, but Ui generally close with the one about the   
   200  army men in training & a marine yells insults from up the hill a rthem,.   
   The  sarge sent a guy up to shut him up; he came back bleeding & crawling.   
      
   He then sent 2 guys up, & they both came crzwling back, bleeding.   
      
   Finally, quite irate now, he sends ten of his best fighters up the hill.   
      
   They fight the Marine over the cresty & down the other side out of sight.   
      
   Finally one comes crawling back to tell his sergeant, "It's a trap, sir --    
   there're two of them!"
