The Navy found they had too many officers and decided to offer an
early
retirement bonus. They promised any officer who volunteered for
retirement
a
bonus of $1,000 for every inch measured in a straight line between any
two
points in his body. The officer got to choose what those two points
would
be.
The first officer who accepted, asked that he be measured from the top
of
his head to the tip of his toes. He was measured at six feet and
walked out
with a bonus of $72,000.
The second officer who accepted was a little smarter and asked to be
measured from the tip of his outstretched hands to his toes. He walked
out
with $96,000.
The third one was a non officer grizzly old Chief who, when asked
where he
would like to be measured replied, "from the tip of my penis to my
testicles."
It was suggested by the pension man that he might want to reconsider,
explaining about the nice big checks the previous two officers had
received.
But the old Chief insisted and they decided to go along with him,
providing
the measurement was taken by a medical officer.
The medical officer arrived and instructed the Chief to "drop 'em,"
which
he
did. The medical officer placed the tape measure on the tip of the
Chief's
penis and began to work back.
My God!" he suddenly exclaimed, "Where are your testicles?"
The old Chief calmly replied . . "Vietnam"
