The Pentagon recently found it had too many generals and offered an
early retirement bonus. They promised any general who retired
straight away his full annual benefits plus $10,000 for every inch
measured in a straight line between any two points on the general's
body, with the general getting to select any pair of points he
wished. The first man, an Air Force general, accepted. He asked the
pension man to measure from the top of his head to the tip of his
toes. Six feet. He walked out with a cheque of $720,000. The second
man, an Army general, asked them to measure from the tip of his
outstretched hands to his toes. Eight feet. He walked out with a
cheque for $960,000. When the third general, a grizzled old Marine,
was asked where to measure,he told the pension man: "From the tip
of my penis to the bottom of my testicles." The pension man
suggested that perhaps the Marine general might like to reconsider,
pointing out the nice checks the previous two generals had
received. The Marine insisted and the pension expert said that
would be fine but that he'd better get the medical officer to do
the measuring. The medical officer attended and asked the general
to drop 'em. He did. The medical officer placed the tape on the tip
of the general's penis and began to work back. "My God!" he said.
"Where are your testicles?" The general replied, "In Vietnam".
