**buttonjockey308** , you reminded me of one that used to get our batallion commander’s eyes to bleed. This was my Platoon sergeant’s fave (we were an M.I. unit and so were a slightly different shade of green from the real killers):

747 rolling down the strip  
MI Daddy on a TDY Trip  
Sit down, buckle in, order up a drink  
Say, “Hey steward, whaddaya think?  
Whaddaya think about you and I  
Joinin’ a club called ‘the mile high?’  
Mile high is a club renowned  
for rockin’ & rollin above the ground.”

and then:

If’n I was really dumb  
I’d go to work in the old S1  
Fillin out paperwork all day long  
Fillin out paperwork and doin’ it wrong

If I had me a low IQ  
I’d go to work in the old S2  
Handing out access left and right  
Handing out access to the other side

If I had me a low GT  
I’d go to work in the old S3  
Daily rewrite the SOP  
Daily gettin’ troopers pissed at me

If there’s ever a shootin’ war  
I wanna work in the old S4  
Way back safe behind the lines  
Way back safe where the livin’s fine

Of course, S1-4 can be substituted with G1-4 if it’s a Division/Brigade run and the General’s running with the MI unit. Trust me, this can be done without losing rank. 😃

Now THAT’s funny! Wish I’d have thought of those during General Inspection.

I want to be a neighborhood ranger  
I want to save your cat from danger.

and from my USAF days

If I die in Viet Nam  
Box me up and send me home.  
Cross my hands across my lap  
and tell my folks I died of clap.
