Airman Jones was assigned to the induction center, where he advised new recruits about their government benefits, especially their GI insurance.
It wasn’t long before Captain Smith noticed that Airman Jones was having a staggeringly high success-rate, selling insurance to nearly 100％ of the recruits he advised.
Rather than ask about this, the Captain stood in the back of the room and listened to Jones’ sales pitch.
Jones explained the basics of the GI insurance to the new recruits, and then said: “If you have GI insurance and go into battle and are killed, the government has to pay $200, 000 to your beneficiaries. If you don’t have GI insurance, and you go into battle and get killed, the government only has to pay a maximum of $6000.”
“Now,” he concluded, “which group do you think they are going to send into battle first?”
Exhausted after driving all night, a man decided to pull over to get some sleep. He had just settled back to snooze when there was a knock on the window.
He opened his eyes to a jogger, who asked, “Excuse me but do you have the time?”
“It’s 8:10.”
“Thanks,” he replied, running off. The man had just dozed off again when there was another knock.
“What time is it?” asked a hiker.
“8:25.” Fed up, the man put a sign in his window that read “I DON’T KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!”
Knock, knock! He was suddenly awakened again.
Scowling, the man roiled down the window.
“What?” he yelled at the Boy Scout standing there.
