Obama joke gone bad

[Durgrimst]

So for those that do not know, I am in the military current in Iraq. I was working tonight and waiting to have our nightly meeting and while we were sitting around talking I was chewing on a pen. I am the second to last person to give his updates and when I was finished the last person started talking. He couldn't stop laughing so I asked him what was so funny. He told me that I had black ink all over my mouth. I then responded "I have been sucking off the President." There were a few snickers but the room pretty much went silent and then after a few people saying mixed comments about not wanting to go there, the meeting continued. I found it humorous but apparently it may have been too soon.

LOL... are you a girl or guy? either way, yeah that's bad.

Then again, it's not too soon. Maybe it was just the environment you were in?

Made me laugh though.

(p.s. Nocturnalbob, don't get mad at me for asking his/her gener)

I am a guy, but in the military, and especially on the Marine Infantry side we make a lot of jokes that are pretty "gay." I think it is cause of the bond you have with each other, but either way, the gayness isn't what threw people off.

I thought that kind of bonding was more frequently found in the Navy?

:whistle:

Well I didn't think it would be the gayness.

But I also didn't think it would be about him being black either or too soon.

Me... I would have told the joke, and if no one laughed I would have stood there staring for a little while, then after about a minute of silence explain the joke. Then maybe stare a little longer and tell some corny joke after that and run.
