213 things skippy is no longer allowed to do in the u.s. army

some selections:

  • My proper military title is "Specialist Schwarz" not "Princess Anastasia".
  • Not allowed to add “In accordance with the prophesyâ€? to the end of answers I give to a question an officer asks me.
  • Must get a haircut even if it tampers with my “Samson like powersâ€?.
  • Don't tell Princess Di jokes in front of the paras (British Airborne).
  • Not allowed to chew gum at formation, unless I brought enough for everybody.
  • (Next day) Not allowed to chew gum at formation even if I *did* bring enough for everybody.
  • Command decisions do *not* need to be ratified by a 2/3 majority.
  • The MP checkpoint is not an Imperial Stormtrooper roadblock, so I should not tell them "You don't need to see my identification, these are not the droids you are looking for."
  • If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.
  • Vodka, green food coloring, and a “Cool Mintâ€? Listerine® bottle is not a good combination.
  • The Microsoft ® “Dancing Paperclipâ€? is not authorized to countermand any orders.
  • I should not drink three quarts of blue food coloring before a urine test.
  • Nor should I drink three quarts of red food coloring, and scream during the same.
  • Putting red “Mike and Ike'sâ€? ® into a prescription medicine bottle, and then eating them all in a formation is not funny.
  • Despite the confusing similarity in the names, the "Safety Dance" and the "Safety Briefing" are never to be combined.
  • “To conquer the earth with an army of flying monkeys" is a bad long term goal to give the re-enlistment NCO.
