Paul, I think we have a similar sense of Barracks humor.
For some reason my brother does not share contractor humor. Dude, I sign the checks. When I want to be an idiot, that is the order of the day.:p

yep, it is humor that starts goofy but can rapidly go places it shouldn't, yet somehow always does....lol.... or just makes some ppl look at you in a worried, strange, sometimes frightened way...lol ...that's when you have crossed into "field" humor, when you all just stop and think "crap, weve gone too far....."

Yup. Same way when I managed a Gold's Gym. Years ago they gave me a barracks at Fort Knox to manage. My style is to let the boys have some fun.... that is why I am there Henry Blake.

A friend of my brother's who served as an infantryman in SEA, then used the GI Bill to become a high school English teacher, once told me, "The Army taught me (the 'F' word) could be used as every part of speech expect pronoun and preposition."
