posted by: Geoffrey on March 27, 2004 02:38 PM"Most" is almost surely an overstatement, but from what I've heard the Navy is the gayest of the five branches.

I've started many-a-fight with that line, but it was always meant in good fun. ;)
posted by: GORDON on March 27, 2004 04:38 PMI didn't say you wouldn't get a fight started. I did say you probably wouldn't be able to say it a second time, though.

oh, and the best Jarhead/Sailor comeback I ever heard was by my friend.. Sgt. Holland...
Sailor: Marines are nothing but a bunch of sea-going bellhops..
Marine: Heh, last Belle I hopped, was your Sister..

Of course, I wouldn't say it around your "team" without the rest of my platoon with me. Not all Marines are stupid.
I bet I could say it 3 or 4 times.
posted by: GORDON on March 27, 2004 05:25 PMdamn, Geoffrey.. that was cold.. I bet I did "police calls" a friggin' Million times... on three damn continents... but, other than the "Enemy", the only thing the Corps hated worse was cigarette butts.. I STILL haven't figured that one out...
posted by: Eric on March 27, 2004 05:27 PMA platoon is considerably larger than a team. If you had the whole platoon there you might get it out twice.
