Three men are sitting stiffly side by side on a long commercial flight.
After they’re airborne and the plane has leveled off, the man in the window seat abruptly says, distinctly and confidently, “General, United States Army, retired, married, two sons, both surgeons. ”
After a few minutes the man in the aisle seat states through a tightlipped smile, “General, United States Air Force, retired, married, two sons, both judges. ”
After some thought, the fellow in the center seat decides to introduce himself. With a twinkle in his eye he proclaims, “Master Gunnery Sergeant, United States Marine Corps, retired, never married, two sons, both Generals. ”
