Frazzled Drill Instructor

This Marine drill instructor, completely frazzled by the ineptitude of his recruits, burst into a blue streak of swearing hot enough to blister paint. He broke off suddenly when he noticed one of the recruits had been talking in ranks.

- WHAT WAS THAT YOU SAID, RECRUIT?? - the drill sergeant hollered.

In a quivering voice, the recruit replied:

- I said, to myself, Drill Sergeant Sir, 'if that sucker thinks I'm going to stand here and take his crap . . . well, he's certainly an uncanny judge of character.
