The department of defense was conducting an all service briefing and posed this question: "What would you do if you found a scorpion in your tent?" A sailor said, "I would step on it." A soldier said, "I would squash it with my boot." A marine said, "I would catch it, break off its stinger, and eat it." An airman said, "I would call room service and find out why there's a tent in my room."
