Bravery
An American General and a British General were discussing the meaning of bravery. They decide that practical demonstrations are in order.
Gen. Norman Greenblatt (Tall, cropped hair, four stars on his shoulders and a multi-coloured group of medal ribbons): Marine!
PFC Cohen: Sir! Yes, Sir!
Gen. Greenblatt: You see that tower over there?
PFC Cohen: Sir! Yes, Sir!
Gen. Greenblatt: Double time up the tower, jump off, and land on your
head!
PFC Cohen: Sir! Yes, Sir!
PFC Cohen runs over to the tower, singing a typical US Marine Corps
marching song, climbs the tower with his rifle gripped in his perfectly aligned teeth, jumps off, and lands on his head. Blood, brains (well, a small amount) everywhere.
Gen. Greenblatt: That is bravery.
General Pennington-Smythe-Smith-Smythe (fairly short, thin, pencil
moustache, effeminate, and carrying a swagger-stick): Corporal Evans!
Cpl Evans: SAH!
Gen. P-S-S-S: Be a good chap, jog over to that tower, climb it, and ... well you know the drill!
Cpl Evans: SAH! BOLLOCKS SAH!
Gen. P-S-S-S (turning to Gen. Greenblatt): No, Norman, that is bravery.
