I was just about to make a skippy's list reference ("I am not the atheist chaplin") in another thread, when I suddenly realized that many here haven't read the list. (Despite it being a decade old.) If you haven't read the list, do so.....very funny stuff. (Unless you're in the Army. It might give you bad ideas )

The 213 things Skippy is no longer allowed to do in the U.S. Army

Make sure to read the rest of the site as Skippy and his wife share many other interesting stories and experiences.

54.“Napalm sticks to kids” is not a motivational phrase.

Rule 110. Never, ever, attempt to correct a Green Beret officer about anything.

I wish I had kept a similar list of things from my time in the Navy.

I have one from sears when I was a child:

  1. Quality control is not faulty at the toilet plunger factory, thus there is no need to 'test' them out by making sure they can stick to the linoleum floor.

  2. (related) plungers do not need to 'maintain suction' for lengths of time under normal operation. If you do stick them to the floor, don't leave them there.
