On Father's Day, Jarhead decides to make his dad breakfast in bed. He makes scrambled eggs, toast, and coffee. He brings it into his dad, hands him the cup of coffee and says,''Try it, dad.''

The Jar's dad takes a sip and nearly passes out because it is so strong. ( must be a Marine thing ) Jar asks,''How do you like it, Dad?'' Jar's dad doesn't want to hurt the boy's feelings so he says, ''This is ... something else, I've never tasted coffee quite like this before, Son.'' Jar smiles from ear to ear. And says, ''Drink some more Pops.''
As the dad is drinking, he notices two army men in the bottom of the cup, and says,''Hey! Why did you put army men in here?''

Jaqrhead again smiles and sings,''The Best Part Of Waking Up, Is SOLDIERS In Your Cup.''

Good ones and I can relate to that last one. Dating a woman one time and came home from work. She had fixed an excellent supper and made a pot of coffee. I had a mr coffee maker at the time. One sip knocked my socks off. Trying to keep peace, I didn’t say anything and choked down one cup. After supper,she did the dishes. When she went to empty the coffee filter, I noticed that she had filled it to the top. She never made coffee for me again

50 years ago i's stationed in Ethiopia. Myself and three friends Jerry Oxenford (Ox pf course), Paul Voorhees (Dutch) and a dude who went by Pork Chop, got invited to go hunting gazelle in Tigray Provence, south of where we were working. At that time Ethiopia was waging civil war with the Eritreans. Eritrea is now a separate country, Asmara is its capital, and we worked in Asmara, but that was all a part of Ethiopia at the time. The Ethiopian Army 2nd Division had rules about being on the roads, we needed to travel in convoys and we could not be on the roads after sundown. 2nd D assumed if you were on the road after dark, you were a shifta (up to no good) and they would shoot you. Period. Figure out who you were later. We embarked on our journey south with our rations, our firearms and our ammo, in a 2 1/2 ton tactical (deuce and a half). And me driving my brand new Volkswagen Squareback. 1972. Yellow. Three o'clock in the afternoon and the truck decides it's time to go home - it only wanted to run going up the hill and we needed to go down. Basically we were broke down on the side of a mountain. Several miles back we had passed a 2nd Division Post with vehicles and horses. I drove the VW back to it and was fortunate to find a soldier who spoke some English. I explained our plight and he told me we needed to get our butts off the road before dark because his guys out on patrol had their orders and they would follow them. He said pick up your companions and bring them here, you all can spend the night with us. I drove back and hitched the deuce up to the Squareback and towed it up the mountain to the post and we settled in for the night. Next morning the soldier I had talked to came around and he brought one of his mechanics to work on our truck. He finally introduced himself and we learned that he was the equivalent of a lt. colonel. He asked us if we would like some coffee, since we had not broken out any of our supplies. We agreed - that would be exceptionally nice. We already had a nice little fire going in a circle of rocks, so here comes this lady dressed in traditional Eritrean garb (see the photo below) and she's carrying a jebena (see photo - for Eritrean coffee service). She squats down on the ground amongst the rocks, selects a flat one and a round one, reaches into to gauzy bodice and extracts a good handful of brownish beans. Places these on the flat rock and proceeds to smash the beans up with the round one. She gathers these with her hand and sweeps them into the jebena and places it in the fire. I can the water sloshing about in it. Now she reaches into her bodice once more and recovers 4 demitasse cups and saucers and places them on the flat rock. And rises. There are several, a half dozen or so, horses tethered over by a stone wall. They've been over there all morning, doing what tethered horses do. She walks behind the first in line, places her hand on it's back so as not to startle it I presume, and quickly plucks out a dozen or so hairs from the horse's tail. Now she's back to the fire and she has rolled these hairs into a neat little ball. The jebena is starting to spit, she picks it up by the handle and slaps the ball of hair down into the neck. And proceeds to pour four cups of coffee into the cups. Coffee filter. Finest kind.

Top that?
