I used to have a list of twenty-four of these jokes. But most were bad, except for this one:

1. In your tank, slowly rumble past a docked US Navy warship and blast "In the Navy" by the Village People

10. Put a "What would Jesus do?" bumper sticker on the front and use your tank to get to the office on time regardless of heavy city traffic (namely the 5 mph with brakelights to the horizon kind).

12. Ensure your health and safety while driving around northern Taiwan (I swear, where else is it considered acceptable to make a left turn from the far right lane while running a red light?)

13. Park it in a space marked "Compact Car Only"...on top of the car that was already occupying the spot.

Actually, a friend of mine DID go with his unit to a McDonalds... they didn't use the drive-through, but parked all the tanks (5) on the lot. I'll get a pic for proof ASAP.

Edit: The tanks in question were M113s retrofitted for mortar usage, for those interested.

In Britain, it's actually legal to drive around a tank.

I saw a man on TV wich goes to work in his mustard-yellow tank. As long as the gun barrel is soldered shut, it's legal.

Poor pavement.

Jesus can drive on traffic.
