 Military Retirement Incentive
 
 The Pentagon recently found it had too many generals and
 offered
 an
 early retirement bonus. They promised any general who retired
 straight
 away his full annual benefits plus $10,000 for every inch

 in
 a
 straight line between any two points on the general's body, with
 the
 general getting to select any pair of points he wished.

 pension
 man to measure from the top of his head to the tip of his toes.

where
 to
 measure, he told the pension man: "From the tip of my penis to
the
 bottom
 of my testicles." The pension man suggested that perhaps the
 Marine
 general might like to reconsider, pointing out the nice checks
the
 previous two generals had received. The Marine insisted and the
 pension
 expert said that would be fine but that he'd better get the
 medical
 officer to do the measuring.
 
 The medical officer attended and asked the general to drop

 general's
 penis
 and began to work back. "My God!" he said. "Where are your
 testicles?"
 The general replied, "In Vietnam.
