The commanding officer of a Marine regiment was about to start the morning
briefing to his staff, battalion and company commanders. While waiting for
the coffee machine to finish its brewing, the colonel decided to pose a
question to all assembled. He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky
the night before and he failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep. He
posed the question of just how much of sex was 'work' and how much of it
was pleasure?'
The regimental executive officer chimed in with 75-25% in favor of work.
A captain said it was 50-50%.
The colonel's aide responded with 25-75% in favor of pleasure, depending on
his state of inebriation at the time.
There being no consensus, the colonel turned to the private who was in charge
of making the coffee. What was HIS opinion? Without any hesitation, the young
private responded, "Sir, it has to be 100% pleasure."
The colonel was surprised and, as you might guess, asked why? "Well, sir,
"if there was any work involved, the officers would have me doing it for them."
