Next topic ~ Which one is the walrus?
I thought this picture was cool.....
U.S. Navy Civil Engineer Corps officers at Public Works Department Diego Garcia recently re-created the famous Beatles 'Abbey Road' album cover at a road on the island with the same name. Wearing the different Navy uniforms from left to right are: Cmdr. Victor Velasco, Lt. Corey Tomala, Lt. Michael McManus and Lt. Cmdr. Michael Chucran.
My questions:
1. Why is the guy in khakis wearing shoes?
2. Does this mean the kakhi uniform is secretly dead?
My notes:
3. They even got the out of step corrrect.
4. This shows the Navy, doing their part to stimulate the economy, and keep uniform companies in business. Not to mention thrift stores 
Wait...which one is the Walrus again?

Thank you Craig! Oh and BTW, there is a girls version of your funny story you shared going around on facebook and I thought I was gonna pee my pants!

Hate to admit but I have liked some salty pages...I tried to go down my timeline to see who posted it but it wouldn't let me go but a few days back. It was the joke about picking up the girls and having to get more wallets except this version was where it was a women picking up two men hitchhikers and needing to get more wallets. I still laugh at this coming from a female point of view!

I actually found that one extremely funny too!
Some people didn't find it so funny, so I pulled that post. In hind site, I should have posted that one on a page that wasn't viewed by the general public. Every so often I will post something else that is salty in this area:

A salty joke to me is like a "salt lick" is to a deer. Sometimes you want to leave, but you just can't...
