Long time

An old but still ruggedly handsome 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 Sergeant Major for conversation.*

*“Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very serious man. Is
something bothering you?”*

*“Negative, ma’am. Just serious by nature.”*

*The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, “It looks
like you have seen a lot of action.”*

*“Yes, ma’am, a lot of action.”*

*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 Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner. Finally, the
young lady said, “You know, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but
when is the last time you had sex?”*

*“1955, ma’am.”*

*“Well, there you are. You really need to chill out and quit taking
everything so seriously!? I mean, no sex since 1955!?”*

*Feeling charitable and a little bit drunk, she took his hand and led him to
a private room where she proceeded to “relax” him several times.*

*Afterwards, panting for breath, she leaned against his bare chest and said,
“Wow, you sure didn’t forget much since 1955!”*

*The Sergeant Major, glancing at his watch, said in his matter-of-fact
voice, “I hope not, it’s only 2130 now.”*

*(You’ve got to love military time!)*
