      An old British Navy sailor and a retired US marine were chatting about who had experienced the tougher career.
      
      The marine declared proudly: "I did thirty years in the corps and fought in three of my country's wars. Fresh out of boot camp, I hit the beach at Okinawa, clawed my way up the blood-soaked sand, and eventually took out an entire enemy machine gun next with a single grenade.
      
      "As a sergeant, I fought in Korea. We pushed back the enemy inch by bloody inch all the way up to the Chinese border, always under a barrage of artillery and small arms fire.
      
      "Finally, I did three consecutive combat tours in Vietnam. We ploughed through the mud and razorgrass for fourteen hours a day, plagued by rain and mosquitoes, ducking under sniper fire all day and mortar fire all night. In a firefight, we'd fire until our arms ached and our guns were empty, then we'd charge the enemy with bayonets!"
      
      "Oh," said the sailor with a dismissive wave of his hand, "all shore duty, huh?"
