Redneck Logic
Bubba Joe's first military assignment was to a military induction
center, and, because he was a good talker, they assigned him the duty
of advising new recruits about the government benefits,
especially the GI insurance to which they were entitled. Before long
the Captain in charge of the induction center began
noticing that Bubba was getting a 99% sign up for the top GI insurance.
This was odd, because it would cost these poor inductees nearly $30.00
per month more for their higher coverage than what the government was
already granting.
The Captain decided that he would sit in the back of the room and
observe Bubba's sales pitch. Bubba Joe stood up before his latest group
of inductees and stated, "If you have the normal GI
insurance and go to Iraq and are killed, the government pays your
beneficiary $6,000."
"If you take out the supplemental GI insurance, which will cost you an
additional $30.00 per month, the government pays your beneficiary
$200,000."

"Now," Bubba concluded, "which bunch do you think they're gonna send
into combat first?"
