After retiring, a Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant took a new job as a high school teacher.
Just before the school year started, he injured his back. He was required to wear a light plaster cast around the upper part of his body.
Fortunately, the cast fit under his shirt and wasn't noticeable when he wore his suit coat.
On the first day of class, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in the school.
The smart punks, having already heard the new teacher was a former Marine, were leery of him and he knew they would be testing his discipline in the classroom.
Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, the new teacher opened the window wide and sat down at his desk.
With a strong breeze blowing, it made his tie flap. He picked up a stapler and stapled the tie to his chest.
Dead Silence.
The rest of the year went smoothly.
A minister in New Jersey waited in a long slow-moving line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend.
The attendant worked quickly, or as quickly as he could but there were many cars ahead of him in front of the service station.
Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump.
"Reverend," said the young man, "Sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip."
The minister chuckled, "I know what you mean. It's the same in my business."

Relationships are a lot like algebra: Have you ever looked at your
X and wondered Y?
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity they
have trained people to stand at the edge of their pool and throw
them fish.
If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a few
payments.
I always wondered what the job application for Hooters is like. Do
they just hand you a bra and say, "Here. Fill this out"?
Hey, you're not fat, you're just easier to see.
So I went to the Navy recruitment office.
The fella said: "Can you swim?"
I said: "Why, don’t you have any ships?" 😗
