Serious Sgt Major

A crusty old Marine Corps Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event, hosted by a local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of extremely young, idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sgt. Major for conversation.

"Excuse me, Sgt. Major, but you seem to be a very serious man. Is something bothering you?"

"Negative, ma'am. I'm just serious by nature," the Marine answered.

The young lady looked at his awards and decorations. "It looks like you have seen a lot of action."

"Yes, ma'am, a lot of action," he told her.

The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation said, "You know, you should lighten up a little. Relax and enjoy yourself."

The Sgt. Major just stared at her in his serious manner.

Finally the young lady asked him, "You know, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?"

"1955," he told her seriously.

"Well, there you are, the young woman beamed. “You really need to chill out and quit taking everything so seriously! I mean, no sex since1955! Isn't that a little extreme?"

The Sgt. Major glanced at his watch and said, "You think so? It's only 2130 now."
