The Commanding Officer of a regiment in the
U.S. Marine Corps 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 PFC 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.
The room fell silent.
