Has your sense of humor ever got you in trouble?

We were doing urban combat training in Berlin. Me and a couple of other guys were on the aggressor force. We were covering the back of a building from 3 stories up. Did you know if you take the blank adapter of you can shove a used cartridge into the end of the barrel and it will shoot pretty far. Every time these guys would lean out the window to grab sand bags we would shoot them. After about a half hour this LT. comes running up the stairs and starts yelling at us to quit shooting blanks at his men. I looked at him and said I thought live ammo would be a little to much. He didn't really think it was funny.

Hah. During our crossing the equator ceremony, I managed to escape most of the uh...proceedings...by hiding behind a refueling rig. When discovered, I was immediately designated the wog-dog, and dragged around on all fours with a leash (believe me, this is mild compared to some of the stuff they do. Or rather, used to do. I can't imagine they even have a ceremony these days). The Captain decided, for whatever reason, to be King Neptune, and so, being a good wog-dog, when I got near him I attacked by growling and trying to bite his leg (sister-service members, close your jaws -- this is also not unusual in the Crossing ceremony!) and while this is probably the only situation, ever, a person can get away with physically accosting their commanding officer...my Chief wasn't too happy about it. Everyone laughed at the time, but I certainly did some EMI. le sigh.

I was a radioman and I drafted a fake message popping myself for marihuana. As I was the only qualified RM onboard my Chief, when shown the message (even had the CO in on it), crawled into his rack and hid.

We used to carry hand cream onboard to clean the CRES with. When mixed with water it looked just like semenal fluid. I mixed some up in a condom and hung it from my Chief's rack light so it would be the first thing he saw when he woke up. Realize it hung only an inch over his eyes. He was NOT amused but I nearly ruptured myself laughing. I guess that gave me away.
