Two Royal Logistic Corps Pioneers, Nigel and Jasper, have been promoted from Privates to Corporals.
Not long after, they're out for a walk and Nigel says, "hey, Jasper, there's the NCO's Club. Let's you and me stop for a pint."
"But we're Privates," protests Jasper.
"We're Corporals now," says Nigel, pulling him inside.
"Now, Jasper, I'm gonna sit down and have a drink."
"But we're Privates," says Jasper.
"Are you blind, numbnuts?" asks Nigel, pointing at his stripes. "We're corporals now."
So they have their drink, and pretty soon a female Corporal comes up to Nigel.
"You're cute," she says, "and I'd like to date you, but I've got a bad case of gonorrhoea."
Nigel pulls his friend to the side and whispers, "Jasper, go look in the dictionary and see what gonorrhoea means. If it's okay, give me the okay sign."
So Jasper goes to look it up, comes back, and gives Nigel the big okay sign. Three weeks later Nigel is laid up in the Med Center with a terrible case of gonorrhoea.
"Jasper," he says, "why did you give me the okay?"
"Well, Nigel, in the dictionary, it say gonorrhoea affects only the privates." He points to his stripes. "But we're Corporals now!" |  |
