Given the Brush Off

A doctor was transferred to a very tough Marine commando base. On the first day, three soldiers arrived to see him. The first soldier marched in and snapped to attention.

"What seems to be the problem?" asked the doctor.

"I've got piles, Sir!" shouted the soldier.

"How have you been treating them?" asked the doctor, as he examined the soldier.

"I've been rubbing my ass with a wire brush until it bleeds, Sir!"

"And, what is your ambition in life, soldier?"

"I just want to kill commies, Sir!"

The doctor was amazed that a soldier in so much pain just wanted to do his duty. Then, the second soldier marched in and said, "I have gonorrhoea, Sir!"

"How have you been treating it until now?" asked the doctor.

"I've been rubbing the end of my penis with a wire brush until
it bleeds, Sir!"

"And, what is your ambition in life, soldier?"

"To kill more commies, Sir!"

Again, the doctor was amazed that a soldier in so much pain just wanted to do his duty. Finally, the third soldier walked in and the doctor asked him about his problem.

"I've got ulcerated gums, Sir!" the soldier bellowed.

"And let me guess, you've been rubbing your gums with a wire brush until they bleed, right?"

"Yes, Sir!" replied the soldier.

"And, your main ambition in life to kill commies, soldier?"

"No, Sir... to be the first to use the wire brush, Sir!"
