Twins, Jimbo and Bob, come across a U.S. Air Force recruitment table at a local Memorial Day Parade. The recruiter looks at Jimbo and says, “What skills can you bring to the Air Force?” Jimbo looks at him and says: “I’m a pilot!” The recruiter gets all excited, turns to his aide and says: “Let’s get him the paperwork so he can start training ASAP.”
The recruiter then looks at Bob and asks: “What skills to you bring to the Air Force?” Bob says: “I chop wood!”
“Son,” the recruiter replies, “we don’t need wood choppers in the Air Force. What do you know how to do?” “I chop wood!” “Young man,” huffs the recruiter, “you are not listening to me. We don’t need woodchoppers – this is the 21th century!” “Well,” Bob says, “you hired my brother!” “Of course, we did,” says the general. “He’s a pilot!” Bob rolls his eyes. “So what?! I have to chop it before he can pile it!”
