I like that. Sticking to the military theme:


The reason the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines bicker amongst themselves is that they don't speak the same language. For instance, take the simple phrase "secure the building".

The Army will post guards around the place.
The Navy will turn out the lights and lock the doors.
The Marines will kill everybody inside and set up headquarters there
The Air Force will take out a 5 year lease with an option to buy.

Well, we don't want to start our own little internecine war but.. the last verse of the Marine's Hymn, which few outside the Corps ever hear, is:

If the Army and the Navy ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines.


Bazinga!

A language is a dialect that has an army and a navy. (H.L. Mencken)

Never bring a knife to a gun fight, and in this case, MP Bessie Braddock said to Winston Churchill:

"Winston, you are drunk, and what's more you are disgustingly drunk."

And Winston retorts:

"Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what's more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow
I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly."

Ouch!!!!

Q: How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Two, one to hold the giraffe, and the other to fill the bathtub with brightly colored machine tools.

(Sorry, surrealist jokes just aren't my cup of fur.)

God's OK; it's His fan club that worries me...

I'm so wicked that when the Devil sees me he walks in the other direction.

In ancient times sacrifices were made at the altar.. a practice which is still continued.
