The Morning Briefing... - 07-22-2009, 10:20 AM


The commanding officer of a regiment of U.S. Marines was about to start the
morning briefing to his staff, battalion and 20 company commanders.

While waiting for the coffee machine to finish brewing, the colonel decided
to pose a question to all assembled.

He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he
failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep. He posed the question of just
how much of sex was 'work' and how much of it was 'pleasure?'

The regimental executive officer chimed in with 75-25% in favor of work.

A captain said it was 50-50%.

The colonel's aide responded with 25-75% in favor of pleasure, depending on
his state of inebriation at the time.

There being no consensus, the colonel turned to the private who was in
charge of making the coffee. The colonel asked what HIS opinion was.

Without any hesitation, the young PFC responded, "Sir, it has to be 100%
pleasure."

The colonel was surprised and, as you might guess, asked why?

"Well, sir, "if there was any work involved, the officers would have me
doing it for them."

The room fell silent.

"Dying people lie too. Wish they'd worked less, been nicer, opened orphanages for kittens. If you really want to do something, you do it. You don't save it for a sound bite."

Never has the phrase "don't call me sir, I work for a living" come to mind like it does for this
