Countless stories have been told about the cockiness of our U.S. Marines'

Two Marines were sitting in the public library one day, and one of them had found a book that kept his eyes glued to the contents. The other said to him:

"What's the name of that book you like so much?"

The other said: "The name is'What Millions of Women Want'."

The first one reached for the book.

"Lemme see," he said, "have they got my name spelled right."
