Picked that up as well. That might be the best insult I've ever heard.

Good read, I think my IQ dropped by the time I got to the end.

There's some good information in there, looks like.
There's also some hilarious stuff, like this story from a Marine:

Ok...picture this, if you will:

My unit was waiting a few weeks for jungle school to pick up - the old one at Ft Sherman before that closed down. Some guys from the 10th Mountain were running a Helo Assault Course, and said they had a few slots open, if we were interested....

Well, anything beats - games at the barracks, so I grabbed my most squared-away Corporal (I was an E5 Sergeant) and we went to play. None of the information in the course was new to either of us, since we'd both been in Helo Companies before, but we pretended it was, and amazed onlookers by how fast we mastered the knots, etc. We spent most of the time ing with the Army guys - stuff like "they sent me here because I'm on light duty,"etc. Now, I'm no slouch, but my Corporal was a PT God, and was constantly talking about the ruck runs like they were "a nice warm up". I let one guy catch me in the communal showers scrubbing my **** with a floor brush (that hurts, BTW). The older Army guys knew we were just ing around, but some of the boots were terrified of us.

Which leads us to:

At the end of one day, we were putting the fast ropes back into the shed. These things weigh like 70-80lbs, and I was carrying it by myself. Behind me, this Army LT starts yelling,"Hey! HEY! That's a two soldier job!"

In accordance with the highest traditions of the United States Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service, I yelled over my shoulder,"Aye Aye, Sir - but it's a one Marine job!"

And then.....

....then, Dear Reader, I tripped over a rut and fell face-first into the mud.

****.

I generally avoid the place, but that thread was linked from a blog that I frequent.

I've always asked stupid people "if they rode the short bus to school". It usually takes a while for them to "get" it, or it goes right over their head.
