Joking Banned at Pentagon in Sweeping Memo

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Article 107 News obtained the following memo received today from an unnamed source within the Pentagon.
Distro: All Pentagon personnel
From: You Know Who (No, not him. Or him either.)
The military is serious business and all of us senior leaders get the feeling that the troops aren’t taking us or the military seriously. But mostly us. Well, mostly me. I see it on the interwebs all the time. Well actually my aides see it and tell me. Places like the FaceBooks, Tweeter, Snapperchats, Readdit and sights like that. We put out policies that are for the betterment of the troops and they make fun of the policies and us.
The Aircore and the other branches put out regulations for the social medias and for the most part they have been pretty useless. When I travel to different bases I see all sorts of evidence of shenanigans. And this latest affront to human decency! Navy pilots making big male private parts in the sky! I mean come on! It wasn’t even anatomically accurate. What are we spending our money on at the Naval Academy? How did these guys even pass Anatomy 101? And it wasn’t even to scale. Nobody has a wee-wee that big. Well except for Antonio, my pool boy.
But I digress. Big ole schlongs in the sky! We have come to expect such behavior from Marines and Air Force Crew Chiefs. That and their little hand gestures. What is it with the “Ok” and “Three Finger’s” deals?
People are laughing and joking and poking fun at us and I won’t tolerate it anymore! They will respect my authoritay! And way too often they are making fun and we don’t even know it. I don’t know where they learned satire so well because we don’t teach it in Basic or any of the advanced schools. Hell, even at War College it was an elective.
So henceforth the only way to put a stop to all this disrespectful behavior is to ban humor completely. Yes, even the comics must be removed from all the service newspapers. So new regulations will be published and to make sure they are taken seriously they will carry the death penalty for any violators.
And I will personally hang the next barista that makes a willy design in the foam of my non-fat soy latte! I’m totally serious about this!
Oh – it’s Friday, enjoy your weekend.
