During his peace tenure, a seasoned Para Colonel found himself at a gala event at a posh hotel. There was no shortage of extremely attractive, idealistic young women in attendance. One of them approached the Colonel.
"Excuse me sir, but you seem to be a very serious man. Are you this way all the time? Or is there something that's bothering you?"
"No, I'm just serious by nature."
Looking over the colonel's ribbons, the young lady said, "You seem to have seen a lot of action."
"Yes, a lot of action," said the Colonel rather curtly.
Finding it hard work trying to start a conversation with the colonel, the young woman said, "You know, you should lighten up a little . . . relax and enjoy yourself."
This didn't seem to move the Colonel, who just looked at her very seriously. Exasperated, the woman said, "You know, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but when was the last time you had sex?"
The Colonel replied back, "1955".
"Well no wonder you're the way you are! You really need to chill out a little and quit taking everything so seriously. I mean, no sex since 1955 is a little extreme!"
"I don't think so, it's only 2130 now!" the Colonel said.
Exercise
Annual exercies in Army are quite a boring affair. Hitting dummy targets, killing dummy soldiers, negotiating dummy obstacles and blah blah blah. The Referees and Umpires act like very very tough school teachers.
Once during a Corps level excercise in Thar, two Referees were watching a Brigade crossing a river (ofcourse a dummy one).Then they saw one infantry column crossing the river but not using the bridge. Technically speaking the infantry chaps were crossing the river on foot.
Immediately the Referees jumped in their Jonga and sped towards the erring column. Upon reaching near to them they saw the leading person carrying a placard stating "Hum Tair Rahe Hain" (We are swimming)!
GC Capers
A GC filled Army Aviation as his choice during the choice of arms. When told that he cannot directly join Army Aviation and has to give some other option, he opted for AAD.
His reasoning - 'IF I CANNOT FLY, NOBODY WILL FLY!'
