Friends, I'm looking for military jokes of any era for use in a YouTube video like the one I made last year. Link in the comments.

Like "What do you call it when you throw a gr***de into a kitchen in France? Linoleum Blownapart!"

Who knew that unboxing our new fridge would turn into a retro cooler party? The Mermite from '82 was the real MVP, keeping all our food chilled like it was 1989 again.

Recently acquired this U.S. Navy Medical Bowl manufactured by Dunlap. I don't know anything more about it, if you know more please let me know. Really curious about the date and purpose.

I've spent countless hours since before Christmas trying to find the right size and configuration of EDC tray for my nightstand. I've ordered two from Amazon and neither were what I needed. I got so deep in the Amazon listings that it was showing me cafeteria trays. Then it dawned on me, I have a 1966 US stamped one in the collection. It works slightly better than the ones I bought and the price was better.
