Re: The Forum Joke thread...
Two admirals, one Navy and one Coast Guard, were arguing about which service had the most guts. The Navy guy took
the Coastie to a ship sitting in dry dock, saw a seaman painting the anchor chain, and ordered him to jump over the
side. The seaman saluted and promptly jumped over the side, falling 80 feet to the bottom of the dry dock. The captain said,
"See. That's good old Navy guts for you!"
The Coastie admiral wasn't impressed and took them over to the Coast Guard base and onto a buoy tender sitting at the
dock. The admiral looked around and saw a second class Boatswains Mate painting clear up at the top of the radar
mast. The admiral yelled up, "Hey Boats! Jump down here right now!" The Boatswains Mate looked down and yelled,
"JUMP down there?" "That's right, jump down here right now!" The Boats looked again, and then yelled, "***** you,
Admiral!!"
The Coastie turned to his Navy buddy and said, "Now that takes guts!!"
