Humor in Uniform

If laughter is the best medicine, then look no further to cure whatever ails you. The column â€œOffbase,â€ formally known as â€œHumor in Uniform,â€ has appeared in the Reader's Digest magazine for over half a century, and has published more than 3,500 jokes, quotes, and funny stories from the more than a million readers who have submitted them. This volumeâ€”from the worldâ€™s #1 source of humorâ€”contains laugh-out-loud gems from one of Readerâ€™s Digestâ€™s most popular columns.

Â

This side-splitting collection of humor delivers hundreds of the best jokes, anecdotes, cartoons, quotes, and stories from men and women in the armed forces or their families proving that life is often funnier than fiction. Such as:

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â From a Family Member: My son regaled me with stories about how they do things in the modern Air Force. Being an old Air Force man myself, I scoffed at their complicated methods. â€œThatâ€™s not the way we did it when I was in the service,â€ I said. â€œYeah,â€ he shot back. â€œBut when you were in, there were only two pilots, Wilbur and Orvilleâ€Â Â Â Â Â Â

â€” Ted Shirley

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â From an Army Soldier: Our Army Unit was overseas conducting maneuvers with the Marines. On shift one night, a Marine asked my sergeant where he was from. â€œIâ€™m originally from Central America,â€ said the sergeant. â€œOh, yeah?â€ asked the Marine. â€œKansas?â€

â€” David Denbek

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â From Iraq: At the end of a tough day in Iraq, my daughter, the airman, collapsed onto the first seat in the transport truck, forcing everyone else to climb over her. â€œPrivate!â€ hollered the sergeant, â€œSkinny girls get in the back so when we men get on with our weapons and equipment, we donâ€™t have to climb over you. Have I made myself clear?â€ Suddenly my daughter perked up, â€œDo you really think Iâ€™m skinny?â€

â€”Â Â Â Margaret Culbertson

Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â About the Military: A soldier stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas, actually got a letter addressed to â€œFort Ignorance.â€ â€œHow did you know where to deliver it?â€ she asked the mailman. â€œWe were stumped at first,â€ he admitted. â€œBut then I remembered, ignorance is bliss.â€

â€” William De Graf

For yourself, a friend, or family memberâ€”what could be better than the gift of laughter?
