Two retired Marines in San Diego were sitting down for a break in their soon-to-be new store. As yet, the store wasn’t ready, with only a few shelves set up. One said to the other, ‘I bet any minute now some idiot sailor is going to walk by, put his face to the window, and ask what we’re selling.’
No sooner were the words out of his mouth when, sure enough, a crusty old Retired Navy Chief walked to the window, had a peek, and in a thick salty accent asked, ‘What the #*/@ are you selling in here?’
One of the Marines replied sarcastically, ‘we’re selling a$$holes’
Without skipping a beat, the Old Chief said, ‘You’re doin’ well then… only two left!’
Marines, God bless them, should not mess with the Navy Chief.
