Sometime politically incorrect behavior is inexcusable, however, for some reason unbeknownst to me, it always makes me laugh. Yes, I am fully aware I have serious issues and my co-workers perpetually remid me of such. Nevertheless, my doctors still believe I am relatively safe in public forum and don’t need medication. The memo displayed below supposedly was generated within the Middle East Regions as corrective action against T-Shirts worn by U.S. military personnel. Although I do not agree with the T-Shirts being worn in that region, the content is amazingly clever and hilarious.

U.S. Navy Directive 16134 (Inappropriate T-Shirts)

The following directive was issued by the commanding officer of all naval installations in the Middle East. (It was obviously directed at the Marines.)
