Got this from a fellow Marine and thought it was great:
Boudreaux, the smoothest-talking Cajun in the
Louisiana National Guard, got called up to active duty one
day. Boudreaux's first assignment was to a military
induction center, and because he was a good talker they
assigned him the duty of advising new recruits about
government benefits, especially the GI insurance to which
they were entitled.
Before long, the Captain in charge of the induction center
began noticing that Boudreaux was getting a 99% sign-up
rate for the more expensive supplemental form of GI
insurance.
This was odd, because it would cost these low-income
recruits $30.00 per month more for the higher coverage,
compared to what the government was already providing at no
charge. The Captain decided that he would not ask Boudreaux
directly about his selling techniques, but instead he
w ould sit in the back of the room at the next briefing and
observe Boudreaux's sales pitch.
Boudreaux stood up before the latest group of inductees and
said,
"If you got da normal GI insurans an' you go to Iraq an'
get youself killed, da governmen' gonna pay you
beneficiary $20,000.
If you take out da supplemental insurans, which cost you
only t'irty dollar a mont, den da governmen' gotta pay you
beneficiary $200,000!"
"NOW,"
Boudreaux concluded, "which bunch you tink dey gonna send
ta Iraq furst?" |

My guess is the joke wasn't written by someone who's been in the military. Ahem. |

I'm in the miltary as well. It is a joke, don't dig to deep, I thought it was rather amusing. But to each their own. |
