Merlin Orr Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 A Marine and a Sailor were sitting in a bar one day arguing over which was the superior service. After a swig of beer the Marine says, "Well, we had Iowa Jima." Arching his eyebrows, the Sailor replies, "We had the Battle of Midway." "Not entirely true", responded the Marine. "Some of those pilots were Marines, in fact, Henderson Field on Guadalcanal was named after a Marine pilot killed at the Battle of Midway." The Sailor responds, "Point taken." The Marine then says, "We Marines were born at Tunn Tavern!" The Sailor, nodding agreement, says, "But we had John Paul Jones." The argument continued until the Sailor comes up with what he thinks will end the discussion. With a flourish of finality he says, "The Navy invented sex!" The Marine replies, "That is true, but it was the Marines who introduced it to women." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckS Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 "The Navy invented sex!" The Marine replies, "That is true, but it was the Marines who introduced it to women." Actually, I thing the credit goes back to the Royal Navy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racerba Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) It was a typo, it should be: Iowa Jim - the sailor who invented sex, along with his brother, Iowa John. Edited May 22, 2008 by racerba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Tough crowd.... Don't complain, you knew what would happen when your big chicken chokin' fingers got on the wrong keys....
