We're the Military and Airpower Guys of Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online + a stray we found wandering around looking lost.

S. Marine Corps was about to start the morning briefing to his Staff and Battalion and Company Commanders. While waiting for the coffee machine to finish its brewing, he 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?' The X.O. chimed in with 75-25% in favor of work.... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/the_cos_morning.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/the_cos_morning.html Wed, 23 Jan 2008 10:57:42 -0600 (Ed note: No, John, this missive happened long before I knew you). Turns out she was an artist, and she asked if I would pose for her so that she could sketch me. I stripped down to my PT shorts, and she started sketching. "Suddenly, sir, her husband pulls into the driveway. She kinda freaks out, and tells me that her husband is the jealous kind, and might shoot me on the spot, me being almost naked and all... I grabbed my clothes and she stuffed me into a closet. This was on Friday afternoon, sir, and that feller must have had trouble sleeping, 'cause he didn't stop moving through the house until just a few hours ago, and I was able to get out of there." The Captain mulled the Marine's story over, "So you spent your entire 96 stuffed into a closet?" "Yes sir." The Captain nodded, "Well, Marine, I think you've suffered enough. We'll let this one slide, but I'll nail your hide to the door if you ever miss formation again. You're dismissed." "Aye aye sir." The Marine answered, doing an About Face. "Henderson." the Captain said, as the Marine prepared to leave the office. "Sir?" The Captain gave him knowing look, "That's a good story, but next time leave out the bit about the library; you don't even know how to read!"]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/the_cos_morning.html#comment-68938 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/the_cos_morning.html#comment-68938 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 08:56:32 -0600 Nice one.
