A Jarhead Koan

[Menard]

I did this last night ~ it looks great.

Unfortunately, due to a slip of the fingah, I now have the Billy Jack theme as my ringtone and the "We got the law here, Billy Jack" line as my message alert tone. 

I was driving with a colleague this morning, someone sent me a message, the guy heard "We got the law here, Billy Jack" and put his hands up in surrender: he thought the police had pulled us over. 

It's good to hear, but certainly a fortunate accident.

This has now become my favorite quote to use.

I'm sitting here wondering how that fits with what Trevor wrote and I realized that it is more like a Zen koan, but in this case it is a jarhead koan.

I have realized that this statement fits with everything.

For example:


"I just stepped out of the shower and the hamper lid fell on my penis"

It's good to hear, but certainly a fortunate accident.

"I could not find my rake this morning until I stepped on it and it smacked me in the nads"

It's good to hear, but certainly a fortunate accident.

How would you use the jarhead koan?

Go ahead, give it a try.



Remember, this is all in good fun, Andrew.

Generally the use of "jarhead" from someone other than a Marine or Marine-assigned Corpsman is not a friendly term.

If you prefer, you can edit that out and insert 'Hillbilly'.

What is it with your endless fascination of male genitalia?

Now that wasn't a fortunate accident ~ says Trevor in the high voice..
