You may recall that I posted a story about me berating a Marine recruiter over the phone when they called for my son. Well, yesterday he answered the phone himself.

Phone rings, caller ID says US Army. Son picks up phone, and listens to spiel for a good 2 minutes. When the soldier paused for a breath, Son says "Tell you what...when you stop policing the world, close all the bases in other countries and quit slaughtering Muslims, then maybe I'll sign up."

The soldier says to have a good day, and hangs up. Then, by mistake, he dials our number again.

My son sees the name on the caller ID, and picks it up, saying "Oh my God! Is it really over? Are they home? Did we win?"

The Army hung up.

I've been laughing for a day.

Haha. +rep to your son

Would he be willing to join the Militant Wing of the Salvation Army?

According to their sig, someone around here is the founding member.
 
With the economy where it is headed ,That recruiter will be able to exceed his monthly quota with 2 - 3 good days work a month , I imagine.....
 
I actually remember your original story! This one is awesome and sounds like you have a fine young man right there! You done good!
 
I learned all of the skills necessary to become a used car salesman during my training to become a Marine recruiter :P

Actually I did learn some very good bartering skills :)
