A crusty old Marine Sgt. Major found himself at a gala event hosted by a
local liberal arts college.
There was no shortage of extremely young and idealistic ladies in
attendance, one of whom approached the Sgt. Major for conversation.
"Excuse me, Sgt. Major, but you seem to be a very serious man. Is
something bothering you?"
"Negative, ma'am. Just serious by nature."
The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said "It looks
like you have seen a lot of action."
"Yes ma'am. A lot of action"
The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said "You
know, you should lighten up a little. Relax and enjoy yourself".
The Sgt. Major just stared in his serious manner.
Finally, the young lady said, "You know, I hope you don't take this the
wrong way, but when was the last time you had sex?"
"1955 ma'am."
"Well, there you are ! No wonder you are so serious. You really need to
chill out !! I mean, no sex since 1955 !" She took his hand and led him
to a private room where she proceeded to "relax" him several times.
Afterward, pausing for breath, she leaned against his bare chest and
said, "Wow, you sure didn't forget much since 1955 !"
The Sgt. Major said in his serious voice, after glancing at his watch,
"I hope not; it's only 2130 now"
