The Army Airborne major was used to

harassment from Air Force fliers about crazy Army paratroopers jumping out
of
perfectly good aircraft. “Obviously the Air Force knows there’s
no such
thing as a ‘perfectly good aircraft,'” the irritated
officer finally
countered one afternoon, “because they pay you bastards
four times as
much to stay in one as the Army pays its men to
jump.”

“You’ve got it all wrong, Major,” an Air Force sergeant
replied.
“The Army figures anyone stupid enough to jump out of an
airplane
voluntarily is gonna be too dumb to bitch about the salary.”
