A Retired Marine
A retired Marine sits around the house all day, so one day his wife says, “Ed, you could do something useful, like vacuum the house once a week.”
The guy gives it a moment’s thought and says, “Sure, why not? Show me to the vacuum.” Half an hour later, the guy comes into the kitchen to get some coffee.
His wife says, “I didn’t hear the vacuum running, I thought you were using it?”
Exasperated, Ed answers, ”The stupid thing is broken, it won’t start. We need to buy a new one.”

Grandfather of the Year
A woman in a supermarket is following a grandfather and his badly behaved grandson. He has his hands full with the child screaming for sweets, biscuits, and all sorts of things. The grandfather is saying in a controlled voice: “Easy, William, we won’t be long.” Another outburst and she hears the grandfather calmly say, “It’s okay William. Just a couple more minutes and we’ll be out of here. Hang in there.”
At the checkout the little horror is throwing items out of the cart. Grandfather says again in a controlled voice, “William, relax buddy, don’t get upset. We’ll be home in five minutes, stay cool William.”
Very impressed, the woman goes outside to where the grandfather is loading is groceries and the boy into the car. She says, “It’s none of my business, but you were amazing in there. I don’t know how you did it. That whole time you kept your composure, and no matter how loud and disruptive he got, you just calmly kept saying that things would be okay. William is very lucky to have you as his grandfather.”
“Thanks,” says the grandfather, “but I am William, this little bastard’s name is Kevin.”
