I'm not familiar with American history. Can somebody explain me the joke from "Forest Gump" when Forest was in Vietnam and he said they were looking for this guy named Charlie all the time? (the scene were the platoon walks and shouts "Charlie")? Thanks.

Charlie was the enemy. He was given many names. The North Vietamese army was called NVA, hence Nathaniel Victor, or Mr. Nathaniel Victor. Also the guirella solder's were considered Viet Cong. Hence VC, or Victor Charlie. The US Military uses a phonetic alphabet to downplay confusion while spelling. \nAlpha for A, Bravo for B, Charlie for C, Delta for D, and so on. If you want to know more check out the US Army website, at www.army.mil

I still find this as funny today and when I first heard it.  It is one of my MOST favorite jokes ever.  Thanks for reminding me!!!!!

It's a common and time-honored gag in comedies to show little goofs like that, they are intentionally put in for the laugh, Mel Brooks and the Zucker brothers ( Airplane, Naked Gun series) do it in almost every movie, I doubt if Woody Allen would have left it in if it wasn't intended to be there........but I haven't seen the movie, so I may be completely wrong.

Ma'am, aren't you the same lady who asked that hilarious "What would you DO in such a situation?" question before where you spoke of an 80 year old lady  and another hilarious hypothetical question involving pee?\n\nI just saw that I'd got three thumbs down for bursting into laughter there.\n\nMay I just compliment your great sense of humor, ma'am?\n\nI really needed these laughs.\n\nThank you.

A man met a beautiful woman and he decided he wanted to marry her \nright away. She said, "But we don't know anything about each other." \n\nHe said, "That's all right, we'll learn about each other as we go along." .....\n\nWhoops.\n\n\n\nOk, here is my real joke, the only other one I can remember in my flu delirium.\n\n...as told to me by my best friend when she was eight and I was ten...\n\nIf you are on the potty and you are not American, what are you?\n\nyou're-a-peein'.....

I think the second time around the man should pull his waist line out for the donkey to actually see. How could the donkey see if the man was whispering in his ear? I know it could be implied it was done afterwards but the joke would run smoother if it were rewritten. Still not a bad joke. It's been a while since I've heard it.

I've been away for a couple of weeks and then I come back to this....\n\nI am so out of the loop that I have no idea what this series of questions is about.\n\nBut for some reason, it reminded me of Mad Magazine and their series of cartoons entitled "Spy vs Spy".\n\nWill you welcome me back with 10 points?\n\n(I'm joking. You'll do whatever you want to do with your points.)

Well now i can not comment on the A.C.L.U because i have no idea what it stands for. But i would like to comment on your comment about a Marine getting mad at you. my comment is POPPYCOCK. that's an English word for Crap. Just as your Entire Fantasy of  the  story you have just told. If that had really happened the way you say it did. I do believe you would never have had time to get out the ACLU card before you hit the ground Unconscious. After the Marine hit you.

There,s life in the old dog yet fidgety!\nAn old retired Colonel was invited to a reunion dinner and halfway through the proceedings he rang his wife.\n"Agnes,this reunion is turning out more than I bargained for.They've got naked girls dancing on the tables and then giving their favours to anyone who's interested. What do you think I should do?"\nShe replied,"If you think you can do anything you'd better get home straight away."

Hey Tofu, what veteran? Kerry is a veteran only in the misfortunes he creates for hisself. I know he served in Nam. almost a whole 3 months---now theres a hero for you. Its a wonder his own people didn't frag him.  His life is a series of flubs: senate commitee hearings on vietnam, his catsup princess, the 04 presidential campaign, and his "I voted for it before I voted against it", now just outright insulting the troops and trying to blame it as a botched joke. Kerry, your the only joke and no one is laughing.  I wonder when the people of the state of Massachusetts are gonna grow a pair and fire his sorry ****

Hahaha - share your pain.  While stranded up in VT over the winter, my guy and I rented a VCR and The Aristocrats to watch back at the hotel (yes, we PAID to use a VCR ick).\n\nWe were enjoying some bubbly and were a bit giddy - yet did not find it the least bit amusing.  At first we thought we were missing something - like there was something inherently funny about it, but we were missing a piece of information about the punchline.  We couldn't finish watching it!\n\nFriends of ours watched it as well and while they found it funny that Bob Sagget was talking so dirtily, there was nothing actually funny about the joke.\n\nIt's too bad, too b/c I would like to have enjoyed it, given all the hype I read about it.

I had to wait awhile and cool down before I answered.  Otherwise, my reply would have looked something like this: ****in **** **** ***** ***** *** **** **** ************!!!\nThat wouldn't have been polite, or very articulate.  While I respect your opinion, I have no respect for a person who would insinuate that my father, who was more of a man than many could EVER hope to be, is a liar.  And the peace sign was the equivalent of the finger in the 60s.  Every time my parents saw one, it reminded them of that awful time.  The people who said "Peace, man, make love not war!" were the ones spitting on the soldiers returning home.  I think you've already found that either he and everyone with a similar story are all lying, or they're all telling the truth.  Not all hippies were like that, but there were many who were.  It wasn't all sex, drugs, and Jimi Hendrix, and singing "White Rabbit", or "Fortunate Son."  Not everyone was able to move people like CSN&Y.\nNo, going to Korea or Vietnam was not "protecting" America, but it was SERVING America.\nYes, my dad died early because of his stint in Viet Nam.  We know that for sure.  HOWEVER, it was not a waste of time, because of the fact that the things that he learned, which he imparted to me that final summer we had with him, have stuck with me for fifteen years.  A man who died when I was barely more than a child taught me what it means to truly sacrifice for your country.  He taught me what true integrity is, what love is, what hope is, what faith is.\nHe was a man raised by an alcoholic mother, who allowed her boyfriends to abuse him and his two siblings.  Yet he was a man of faith, who educated himself enough to become an instructor at Boeing.  He was very successful, and would have been more so if he had been healthy.\nMy dad taught me that we each control what we make of ourselves.  He could have wound up an alcoholic himself, like his brother did.  He could have wound up drinking himself to death.  He could have been a bitter, horrible person, like his own mother.  He could have taken his awful experiences in Viet Nam (He told me about some of the things he witnessed, like a young child with an improvised  bomb strapped to their body, coming towards his platoon.  He had to make a split decision:  Kill the child, or let them kill his men.), and turned it into a hatred for the Armed Forces and for our great country.\nYet he didn't.  My dad was extraordinary.  He went through hell many times, but married an amazing woman, had four children who have made mistakes but done well for the most part, and now I believe firmly that he's in peace.\nMy dad was anything but a liar.

My brother called our friend who was on probation posing as a probation officer named, "Charlie Brown".  He asked her if she had served her community hours.  She said yes, I served them at the fire department, I cleaned and did some odd work.  My brother told her are you sure?  Because I spoke with "Beetle Bailey", and he told me you didn't go.  You could hear it in her voice she was getting kind of scared. My brother asked her, did you use the tiny bubbles to clean the toilet? No, I used what they had. Well, he says, I'll call "Beetle Bailey" back and see if he made a mistake. I hope your not giving me a bucnh of--WAH! WAH! WAH! WAH! (he made the sound of charlie brown's mom).  She said, I'm not.   my brother could not go any further and started to laugh.  My friend was very angry,  but she got over it, when she pulled a prank on him...revenge.
