Jon pulls his friend to the side and whispers, “Matt, go look in the dictionary and see what” gonorrhea “means. If it’s okay, give me the okay sign. ”
So Matt goes to look up, comes back, and gives Jon the big okay sign.
Three weeks later Jon is laid up in the infirmary with a terrible case of gonorrhea.
“Matt,” he says, “Why’d you give me the okay?”
“Well, Jon, in the dictionary, it’s gonorrhea affects only the privates.”
He points to his stripes. “But were sergeants now.”
Sergeants can’t drink in the Officers Club either.
