What are Sailors taught???

[Bear Paw Jack]

A Navy Chief noticed a new seaman and barked at him, "Get over here! What's your name sailor?"
"John," the new seaman replied.
"Look. I don't know what kind of bleeding-heart pansy crap they're teaching sailors in boot camp nowadays, but I don't call any one by his first name," the chief scowled. "It breeds familiarity, and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my sailors by their last names only; Smith, Jones, Baker, whatever. And you are to refer to me as 'Chief'. Do I make myself clear?"
"Aye, Aye Chief!"
"Now that we've got that straight, what's your last name?"
The seaman sighed. "Darling, My name is John Darling, Chief."
"Okay, John, Here's what I want you to do....." :mrgreen:

I have a friend whose name is John Law. He was a cop. He gave some old guy a ticket, the guy looked at the ticket and told John, "You aint got the guts to sign your own name!"

TRUE story. When I was a First Sergeant one of my Platoon Sergeants was named Joe Dick. You can take it from here.

I was watching a show this weekend where the guy was going to buy an island in the Caribbean and it's name was "Little Peter". How would you like that for your address?

In our area there is a testosterone replacement therapy for men clinic run by a guy named Dr. Arakaki...... pronounced are-uh-Kock-ee.

We had a guy in our bowling league named Dick Washer. He wanted to be called Richard.

Jimbo, was the girl's mother a Virgin before she got married?

 

[Poco Oso]

I went to school with a kid named Richard Head. We had a lot of fun with that one. Sorry to say, he lived up to the name too.

No, but the father was. ...and still is.

Back in Iowa about forty years ago, one of the local smallish high schools had a season-winning basketball team that was headed for the state championships. The local press simply couldn't get enough of reporting on the high scoring of the star player . . . Fonda Dicks. She stood about 6'-1' and at about 165 you just didn't even dare snicker when you met her. Beautiful girl with a jokester father.

Really.

Hi,

Dunno if there's anything special about dentists and names, but where I grew up there was a Dr. Speedy Nutz. And in the area where I live now there was once a dentist named Dr. Harry Wang. As for parents and weird senses of humor, I went to elementary school with a girl named Merry Love (yes, spelled that way.)

I also went to school with one of those unfortunate children. His last name was Hertz, and yeah you guessed it, his first name was Richard.

And, it explains why some children hate their parents. Hey, anyone heard from old Moon Unit lately?

My last name is Wright, so I am Mr. Wright. I think that my wife married me so she could for them on be Mrs. Wright. But when we have a disagreement why are now both Wright.

 

[Jeepnik]

Okay, I hope he never comes across this. But my vet is named Richard Ceman.

He actually loved his parents, go figure.

Was he from Columbia, MO? There's a car dealer by that name there.

There is a urologist doctor named Dr. Richard Chopp who does vasectomies in Austin, Texas. Google him up, he's famous in Central Texas.

He gives his patients this T-shirt after the procedure:

In my company in the Army in Germany we had one O.D. Green.
In a town I got to occasionally there used to be a restaurant run by a Korean family called Katy's Kozy Korner.

No. This was in Denver in the mid-60's. I'm sure there's many "Richard Heads" :wink: to be found everywhere. :mrgreen:

 

[Heliman]

My neighbor is a "Richard" Head..... but that's not his name. :shock: :wink:

Those guys are rampant. I'm thinking they may all be the same blood line. Maybe even a straight line.

My mother-in-law had a gyneocologist named Dr. Hole.

A Reader's Digest "Humor in Uniform" once told the sad story of a Navy recruit named Duck, Donald.
