The 213 Things Skippy is No Longer Allowed to Do in the U.S. Army
by SGT Shawn Stanford

Once upon a time, there was a SPC Schwarz stationed with the U.S. Army in the Balkans. SPC Schwarz was either very clever or very bored; but probably both, since he managed to attempt or be warned about 213 things he wasn't allowed to do. He collected those things into a hillarious list and posted them to the web. The site hadn't been updated in a couple of years and has since gone away; but the list is classic, so I saved it. A couple favorites: 2. My proper military title is 'Specialist Schwarz' not 'Princess Anastasia'. and 191. Our Humvees cannot be assembled into a giant battle-robot.

Lol!

I'd say I laughed at about 2/3 of them. Good list!

::has face buried in hands, hiding fits of laughter::

shadowhound 01-29-2004 01:27 AM

That was, by far, the single funniest thing that I have seen on this board for a long time. I was annoying everyone else in the house from laughing too hard :D

Intrepid 01-29-2004 06:47 AM

lol that was great, if that was real i think they would have eventually discharged him from the army for insanity or something.
Very funny anyway :D

dplax 01-29-2004 07:00 AM

LOL some of them were really, really good.

ROTFLMAO
Just like Shadowhound said, That is the funniest thing I've read in a long time.

"I should not drink three quarts of blue food coloring before a urine test.

Nor should I drink three quarts of red food coloring, and scream during the same. "

about 150 of them made me LOL :D

slicer15 01-29-2004 07:04 PM

Definitely hilarious! Man, I just want to see the faces of some of the officers when he pulls off these things...

Night Stalker 01-29-2004 08:13 PM

Simple .... "First Sergeant! Take care of this." Then find a nice secluded corner and fall over laughing!

Illumina Drathiran'ar 01-29-2004 08:47 PM

I have a friend who just talked to an army recruiter (No, this isn't the flamboyant homosexual I mentioned in another thread), and I showed him the list. He was immensely disappointed that he can't do ANY of that, should he join.

SomeGuy 01-29-2004 09:11 PM

ROFLMAO great now there's rootbeer all over the keyboard and monitor! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Kakero 01-29-2004 09:38 PM

Damn, I'm laughing so hard I couldn't continue eating my lunch. :D

Sagramore 01-29-2004 09:49 PM

LoL! That's the funniest thing I've read in a looong time! Thanks for sharing! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

shadowhound 01-29-2004 10:19 PM

That got me in serious trouble, I was meant to be working on something for my parents and I had to try and keep a dead serious look on my face while reading those... failed miserably :D

Cerek the Barbaric 01-30-2004 12:22 PM

<font color=deepskyblue>I started laughing so hard at the urine tests that it was almost 5 full minutes before I could even explain to my coworker what I was laughing about.

However, I will go on record as saying that the platoon should have subjected him to a slow and tortured death for #154.

THAT'S JUST WRONG!!!!</font>

ROFL! That was just plain brilliant.

quietman1920 01-30-2004 01:23 PM

You know, I really tried to keep a straight face at work. But I lost it at:


101. I am not allowed to mount a bayonet on a crew-served weapon.

Seraph 01-30-2004 06:29 PM

I wasn't at work, but 101 was the first one to make me actually laugh.

137 Should not show up at the front gate wearing part of a Russian uniform, messily drunk.
138 Even if my commander did it.

Was also pretty good.

That 101st thing remembered me on my own joke in the army. :D

It would go like this:
When camouflaging an APC you may NOT put treebranches in the gun barrel!
(oh the joy when lieutenant noticed that and almost bursted)

InjaYew 01-30-2004 07:24 PM

Thank you for posting that. I want to find Specialist Schwarz and make him my new best friend! ;)

Gawd that was funny. :D

Callum Kerr 01-30-2004 11:35 PM

That was the funniest thing I have ever read...

my stomach is literally hurting [img]tongue.gif[/img]

VulcanRider 01-30-2004 11:56 PM

I was more than half way down the list before I realized Specialist Schwarz was male...

At first I didn't think these were that funny:
2. My proper military title is 'Specialist Schwarz' not 'Princess Anastasia'.
5. Not allowed to get silicone breast implants.
18. May no longer perform my now (in)famous 'Barbie Girl Dance' while on duty.
80. Not allowed to wear a dress to any army functions


until I realized my mistake when I read these:
165. I do not get 'that time of month'.
178. I am not 'A lesbian trapped in a man's body'.


I gotta say my favorite out of the whole list was:
201. Must not valiantly push officers onto hand grenades to save the squad.

Cloudbringer 01-31-2004 12:02 AM

ROTFL! So what CAN you do with duct tape? LOL I mean if you can't make your boots black and shiny with it? [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

InjaYew 01-31-2004 12:09 AM

http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung...smiley-009.gif Not allowed to chew gum at formation, unless I brought enough for everybody.

(Next day) Not allowed to chew gum at formation even if I *did* bring enough for everybody.

The following words and phrases may not be used in a cadence- Budding sexuality, necrophilia, I hate everyone in this formation and wish they were dead, sexual lubrication, black earth mother, all Marines are latent homosexuals, Tantric yoga, Gotterdammerung, Korean hooker, Eskimo Nell, we've all got jackboots now, slut puppy, or any references to squid.

It is better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission, no longer applies to Specialist Schwarz.
