The Marine Private
The Commanding Officer of a Regiment in the U. S. Marine Corps was about to start the morning briefing to his Staff and Battalion and Company Commanders. While waiting for the coffee machine to finish its
Brewing, he decided to pose a question to all assembled.
He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep.
He asked, "Just how much of sex is 'work' and how much of it is 'pleasure?"
The X.O. Chimed in with 75-25% in favor of work.
A Captain said it was 50-50%.
The Colonel's Aide, a Lt., responded with 25-75% in favor of pleasure, depending on his state of inebriation at the time.
There being no consensus, the Colonel turned to the PFC who was in charge of making the coffee.
"What's your opinion, Marine?"
With no hesitation, the young PFC snapped to attention and responded, "Sir, 100% pleasure, Sir."
The Colonel was surprised and queried "Why is that, Marine?"
"Sir, if there was any work involved, the officers would have me do it for them."
