Base Memo, Courtesy of Kevin
To: All Navy Personnel
It has been brought to our attention that some Navy personnel at Camp Patriot have been using foul language during the course of normal conversation with their Army counterparts.
Due to complaints received from some Army personnel who may be easily offended, this type of language will no longer be tolerated.
We do however, realize the critical importance of being able to accurately express your feelings when communicating with the Army.
Therefore, a list of "TRY SAYING" new phrases has been provided so that proper exchange of ideas and information can continue in an effective manner without risk of offending the more sensitive Army types.
TRY SAYING: I'm certain that isn't feasible.
INSTEAD OF: No fucking way.
TRY SAYING: Really?
INSTEAD OF: You've got to be shitting me.
TRY SAYING: Perhaps you should check with...
INSTEAD OF: Tell someone who gives a shit.
TRY SAYING: I'm not involved in the project.
INSTEAD OF: It's not my fucking problem.
TRY SAYING: That's interesting.
INSTEAD OF: What the fuck?
TRY SAYING: I'm not sure this can be implemented.
INSTEAD OF: This shit won't work.
TRY SAYING: I'll try to schedule that.
INSTEAD OF: Why the hell didn't you tell me sooner?
TRY SAYING: He's not familiar with the issues.
INSTEAD OF: He's got his head up his ass.
TRY SAYING: Excuse me, sir?
INSTEAD OF: Eat shit and die.
TRY SAYING: So you weren't happy with it?
INSTEAD OF: Kiss my ass.
TRY SAYING: I'm a bit overloaded at the moment.
INSTEAD OF: Get at the end of the fuckin' line.
TRY SAYING: I don't think you understand.
INSTEAD OF: What the fuck's yer problem?
TRY SAYING: I love a challenge.
INSTEAD OF: This shit is fuckin' impossible.
TRY SAYING: You want me to take care of that?
INSTEAD OF: Who the hell died and put you in charge?
TRY SAYING: I see.
INSTEAD OF: Blow me.
TRY SAYING: I think you could use more training.
INSTEAD OF: You don't know what the fuck you're doing.
