   ....and I'll be putting things in there that come from my many friends
   and don't fit in any other category. Here's the first.

     Semper Fi !
     MARINE MATH
     The Korean War, in which the Marine Corps fought and won some of
     its most brutal battles, was not without its gallows humor.
     During one such conflict a ROK ( Republic of Korea ) commander,
     whose unit was fighting along with the Marines, called legendary
     Marine General Chesty Puller, to report a major Chinese attack in
     his sector. "How many Chinese are attacking you?" asked Puller.
     "Many, many Chinese!" replied the excited Korean officer.
     General Puller asked for another count and got the same answer,
     "Many, many, many Chinese!"
     "X*#dammit!" swore Puller, "Put my Marine liaison officer on the
     radio."
     In a minute, an American voice came over the air: "Yes sir?"
     "Lieutenant," growled Chesty, "exactly how many Chinese you got up
     there?"
     "General, we got a whole shit load of Chinese up here!"
     "Thank God." exclaimed Puller, "At least there's someone up there
     who knows how to count.
