I dunno, I'll bet they don't mind gay women as much.

It is probably only slightly more tollerated, but not really.

When I was in high school, I saw this Marines ad for a free t-shirt. It just said "Semper Fi" on it and I thought "Hey, cool shirt just for being willing to receive some Marines propaganda, why not?"

So I ordered the shirt.

I got the shirt.

A couple months later, I was called to the front office at school because "My Marines recruiter" was here to talk to me.

There were a couple other kids on his list too. I remember the office secretary taking me aside and saying "These other guys, yeah . . . but what I know about you, don't sign ANYTHING until you are sure what you're doing . . . I just don't see you as someone who needs the Marines." It was weird because I barely knew the secretary but yet she seemed really concerned for my meeting with this guy.

He took me to a room and had me do some things like he gave me about 10 cards with things on them like "See the world" "Learn a skill" etc. I was supposed to put them on order of importance. The only thing I was considering was doing it for college so I put my education on top of the list. He kept asking me things like "Don't you want to travel the world? Isn't that a priority for you?"

Finally it came down to him admitting to me that he couldn't guarantee where or what I might end up doing in the Marines. I said that learning a skill is important to me, but I didn't want ot join the Marines if there's no guarantee that I'll even end up an a field I'm interested in. I added "I don't see how going through three months playing cowboys and indians in a forest in basic training only to end up doing something I might hate is going to get me where I want to be.

He got really mad, but he let me go back to class.

that teacher sounds like a nun. I bet its a nun.

I went to Catholic School for eight years. Some of the best teachers I have ever had were nuns.

I can honestly say some were better than others. But I never had a bad experience with nuns as teachers. I found them to be very nice and extremely dedicated.

I went to Catholic school for 8 years too. Had nuns for all but two of the years.

They're strict, but usually very good teachers. I had one bad experience, but that was a combination of smart-a** kids and a very young nun who wasn't sure how to deal with them. We caused her trouble and actually got her transferred out of the school. I always felt bad about that because I was one of the troublemakers that was involved.

But even nuns are human. There's gonna be good ones and there's gonna be bad ones.

Is that why you work the 3rd shift, so you can play with us for a little bit?
