I was given this little ditty many years ago, apologies if it's already been posted and I'm sure our naval collegues can play around with it to suit there own rank structure.
A DOCUMENT TO HELP UNDERSTAND OUR RANKS.
A general
Leaps tall buildings in a single bound.
is more powerful than a locomotive
Is faster than a speeding bullet
Walks on water, gives policy to God.
A Colonel
Leaps short buildings in a single bound.
Is more powerful than a bull-dozer
Is just as fast as a speeding bullet
Wals on water if the sea is calm.
A Lt Colonel
Leaps short buildings with a running start and favourable wind.
Is almost as powerful as a Bull-dozer.
Is faster than a speeding .22 slug.
Walks on water in indoor swiming pool.
Talks with God if special Request is approved.
A Major
Barely clears nissen huts
Loses tug-of-war with a locomotive
Can fire a speeding bullet
Swims well.
Is occasionally addressed by God.
A Captain
Makes high scratch mark when trying to leap buildings
Is run over by locomotives.
can sometimes handle a gun without inflicting self injury.
Dog paddles.
Talks to animals.
A Lieutenant
Runs into buildings
Recognises locomotives two out of three times
is not issued with with ammunition.
Can stay afloat with proper instruction
Talks to walls.
A Second Lieutenant
Falls over doorsteps when trying to enter buildings
Says look at the choo-choo
Is not issued with a gun
Plays in mud puddles
Mumbles to himself.
A Non Commisioned Officer
Sweeps under buildings
puts locomotives back on track
Picks up spent cartridges after speeding bullets have been fired
Is very close to God.
A Marine
Lifts buildings and walks under them
kicks locomotives off the track
Catches speeding bullets between his teeth and eats them
freezes water with a single glance.
He is God.
