Sub Sailors Are Good At This Sensitive Stuff
By
unknown

Three Submarine sailors were working up on a conning tower, Jethrow, Pete and KC.

As they start their descent Jethrow slips, falls off the tower into the drydock below and is killed instantly!

As the ambulance takes the body away, Pete says, "Well, damn, someone should go and tell his wife."

KC says, "OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll do it."

Two hours later, he comes back carrying a case of Budweiser.

Pete says, "Where did you get that beer, KC?"

"Jethrow's' wife gave it to me," KC replies.

"That's unbelievable, you told the lady her husband was dead and she gave you beer?"

"Well, not exactly", KC says. "When she answered the door, I said to her, you must be Jethrow's widow'."

She said, "You must be mistaken, I'm not a widow."

Then I said: "I'll bet you a case of Budweiser you are."
