Marine Corps Stories: Never on Schedule, But Always Ahead of Time
A Marine attempts to get his dry cleaning done.
“I know, but tomorrow’s Sunday. And they’re about to close, I…Hey!” Sergeant Cahill talked into his mobile device and stopped the laundry clerk just in time. He pointed to his watch. His Dress Blues needed to be cleaned.
“It’s alright…I’m hanging up now.”
“Three minutes left,” Cahill indicated.
“I just have these and I need chevrons placed on them.”
“When do you need them?” Jim Chang asked.
“Before Thursday…Wednesday! I'll pick them up then.”
“Alright. Phone number?”
He provided it.
“Alright. Enjoy your evening.”
“Good night!”
Cahill then remembered that he should’ve brought his service Alphas, Bravos and Chucks.
“Goddamnit!”

Chanda sent home money every two weeks. In a small village in India, she deposited money into the bank account of her Aunt and Uncle who sent her to live in America. The place seemed so remote, almost cut off from the rest of the country. There, a festival took place where participants hurled cow eliminations at each other. The muddy, mucky sense of it had been known for centuries. Locals tied it to an ancient god who they believed restored people’s health with the cow plops. During the festival, thick patties hurled through the air and smushed into the bodies and faces of those rollicking around in the filth.

So You Decided To Become a Nurse Practitioner:
So you decided to become an "Advanced Practice" nurse. Congratulations!... is what I would say if this was a good idea. Grad school? In this economy? What were you thinking? Likely it was something along the lines of either 1) “I've seen these other chucklefucks do it— Why can't I?” or even 2) “I've got a nice career, I should shake it up. I miss feeling like I have no clue what I'm doing.”
