A Non-Classified Conversation

The following is a non-classified (that's for you guys monitoring all internet and phone communications-hello, there) and vaguely amusing conversation I overheard the other day, between two soldiers who will be identified only as A and B...

A:[Observing B affixing a velcro skull-and-crossbones to his body armor] Well aren't you special.

B:This is for good luck, man. I fuckin' swear to God this thing's good luck. Hey [pointing to A's high-speed Oakley shooting glasses] are those prescription?

A:[Handing his glasses over to B] Yeah.

B:[Trying the glasses on] So are you near-sighted or far-sighted?

A:Far-sighted.

B:[Perplexed look on his face] These aren't prescription.

A:No, they're not.

B:Why'd you lie about them?

A:'Cause I figured a man who'd wear a velcro skull-and-crossbones on his armor would fall for it.

B:[Handing the glasses back] It's for good luck asshole!

And on a completely unrelated note....

Take note, all you little illdrens: The first song on Ice Cube's "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted"-entitled "The Nigga You Love to Hate"-is better than a lot of other rappers' whole albums!!!! Give it a listen or eight, and you'll see. It's true.
