A U.S.Marine Colonel was about to start the morning briefing with his staff. While waiting for the coffee machine to finish brewing, the colonel decided to pose a question to all assembled. He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he failed toget his usual amount of sound sleep. He posed the question of just how much of sex was “work” and how much of it was “pleasure?”

A Major chimed in with 75%-25% in favor of work.

Next, a Captain said it was 50%-50%.

A lieutenant responded with 25%-75% in favor of pleasure, depending upon his state of inebriation at the time.

There being no consensus, the colonel turned to the Lance Corporal who was in charge of making the coffee and asked for the “man on the street” opinion.

Without any hesitation, the young enlisted man responded, “100% pleasure without a doubt,sir.

The colonel was surprised  but demanded a reasoned explanation.

“Well, sir, if there was any work involved in it, the officers would have me doing it for them, sir.”

The room fell silent….
