"RETIREMENT PLAN"
RETIREMENT BONUS
**********
The American Navy found they had too many officers and decided
to offer an early retirement bonus.
The American Navy found they had too many officers and decided
to offer an early retirement bonus.
They promised any officer who volunteered for retirement a bonus of $1,000 for every inch
measured in a straight line between any two points in his body.
measured in a straight line between any two points in his body.
The officer got to choose what those two points would be.
The first officer who accepted asked that he be measured from the top of his head to the tip of his toes.
He was measured at six feet and walked out with a bonus of $72,000.
The second officer who accepted was a little smarter and asked to be measured from the tip of his outstretched hands to his toes.
He walked out with $96,000.
The third one was a noncommissioned officer, a grizzly old Chief who, when asked where he would like to be measured replied, "From the
tip of my weenie to my testicles."
It was suggested by the pension man that he might want to reconsider, explaining about the nice big checks the previous two officers had received.
But the old Chief insisted and they decided to go along with him providing the measurement was taken by a medical officer.
The medical off icer arrived and instructed the Chief to "drop 'em," which he did.
The medical officer placed the tape measure on the tip of the
Chief's weenie and began to work back.
Dear Lord!" he suddenly exclaimed, "Where are your testicles?" The old Chief calmly replied, "Vietnam."

Oh you said testicles. Giggle!
(There's a bunch of ladies blogs I read that have made a joke out of seeing who can work that word into a post. I've resisted... only because I don't have anything clever to say about them.)

I'll help guys out here. That's a nice story, I couldn't have guessed the end.
Too, I will pass on a blog on the subject. One of my nine-year old readers fell away for a while, the other still keeps me nice.
