JUMP! On the night of graduation, a father approached his
son and asked him, "Son, now that you finished high
school, what are you going to do with your life?"
The son replied, "I think I am going to join the
peace corps."
"That's wonderful, I was in the peace corps when I
was your age. I found it rather fulfilling."
A couple of years went by and the son came home from
the peace corps. The father asked the son, "Now that
you have helped out in the peace corps, what are you
going to do?"
The son replied, "I am going to join the marines."
The father's eyes lit up with amazement.
"I am so proud of you son. I went into the Marines,
too. It taught me discipline, and most of all,
respect for myself. Son, in all my years of being
your father, you have never disappointed me yet."
The son left for boot camp a couple of weeks later,
where he was put through some of the most rigorous
training of his life. One of the last phases of his
training included jumping out of an airplane. This
frightened him to no end.
He decided to give his father a call, telling him
how scared he was, and his father told him not to
worry, everyone would be scared.
A couple of weeks went by and the son came home from
basic. The father noticed his son's behavior had
changed. He was sullen. "What's wrong son? Tell me
what's on your mind. Nothing you can say will
disappoint me. I am very proud of you."
"You might want to sit down for this dad," the son
said. "The day we were up on the plane ready to jump
I was the last one. I got up to the door and I
couldn't do it!" exclaimed the boy. "My drill
sergeant looked at me and yelled, 'Soldier, if you
don't jump out of this plane this damn instant, I am
going to stick my big hairy dick up your little ass!'"
The fathers eyes widened when he asked, "Well did
you jump?"
The son replied, "Only at first."
