Nonfiction: Quote of the Day "Cannibalism"

The other NCOs in the platoon and myself were talking about the hurricane that is closing in on the coast and the preparations we should take... i.e. getting water, food, supplies, filling up our cars before rationing takes place, etc. Personally, I just got some water and not much else. I don't really take care of myself. Anyways, one of the NCOs new to the platoon (but not to the company) had this to say...

Sergeant Sweep, "I'm not going to buy food or anything like that in preparation. If I get hungry... I'm just gonna start eating people!"

This came out of nowhere and we all just kind of stared at him for a second before bursting into laughter. Nothing like a long, frustrating week of work to inspire total randomness. The Army is amazing in the fact that you can work an entire week, bust your ass, stress yourself out and then look back on what you did and be like, "I accomplished nothing!"

Anyways, here's hoping that the storm doesn't screw up the weekend too bad.
