A crusty Army Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event hosted by a
local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of extremely young,
idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant
Major for conversation.

Excuse me, Sergeant major,' she said, ' but you seem to be a very
serious man. Is something bothering you?'

'Negative, ma'am,' he replied. 'Just serious by nature.'

The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said 'It looks
like you have seen a lot of action.'

'Yes, ma'am.... a lot of action.'

The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said, 'You
know, you should lighten up a little. Relax and enjoy yourself.'

The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner.

Finally the young lady said, 'You know, I hope you don't take this the
wrong way, but...... when was the last time you had sex?'

'1955, Maam, ' he responded in his straightforward manner.

'Well, there you are!' she said. 'You really need to chill out and quit
taking everything so seriously! I mean, no sex since 1955!'

She took his hand and took him to a private room where she proceeded to
'relax' him several times. Afterwards, panting for breath, she leaned
against his bare chest and said, 'Wow, you sure didn't forget much since
1955!'

The Sergeant Major, glancing at his watch, said in his matter-of-fact
voice, 'I hope not. It's only 2130 now.'
