Here's one a guy gave to me in a grocery parking lot after spotting my USMC tag on my truck. You'll LOVE it!!
A Story of Creation
In the beginning was the word, and the word was God. In the beginning was God, and all else was darkness and void, and without form. So God created the heavens and the Earth. He created the sun, and the moon, and the stars, so that light may pierce the darkness. The Earth, God divided between the land and the sea, and these he filled with may assorted creatures.

And the dark, salty, slimy creatures that inhabited the murky depths of the oceans, God called "sailors." And he dressed them accordingly. He gave them trousers that appeared as bells at the bottom, and their shirts had cute little flaps on them to hide the hickeys on their necks. He also gave them shaggy hair and shabby-looking beards. God nicknamed them - "squids," and banished them to a lifetime at sea so that normal folks would not have to associate with them. To further identify these creatures He called them words like "petty" and "Commodore" instead of titles worthy of red-blooded men.

And the subnormal creatures of the land, God called "soldiers." And with a twinkle in His eye, and a sense of humor that only He could have, God made their trousers too short and their covers too large. He also made their pockets over-sized so that they may warm their hands. And to adorn their uniforms, God gave them badges and emblems in quantities that only a dime store owner could appreciate. And he gave them ropes and crests.... and all sorts of shiny things that glittered... and devices that dangled. (Even God sometimes gets carried away!)

On the 6th day He thought about creating some air creatures. For these he designed a uniform not unlike that of a Greyhound bus driver; but he discarded this idea, and it wasn't until years later that some apostles resurrected this theme and established what we now know as "the wild blue yonder wonders."

And on the 7th day, as you know, God rested. But on the 8th day, at 0600 hours, God looked down on what he had wrought, and was not happy!! God was not happy! So He thought about His labors, and in His divine wisdom, God created a divine creature. And this he called Marine.

And these Marines, who God had created in his own image, were to be of the land, of the sea, and of the air. And He would give these Marines many wonderful uniforms. Some were green, some were blue with trimmings of red. And in the early days some were even a beautiful tan. He gave them practical fighting uniforms, so that they may wage war against the forces of Satan and evil. He gave them service uniforms for their daily work and training. And He gave them evening and dress uniforms....sharp and stylish, handsome raiment so that they may promenade with their ladies on Special Outings and impress the **** out of everybody!! He gave them swords, so that people who were not impressed, could be dealt with accordingly.

And at the end of the 8th day, God looked down upon the Earth and saw that it was good ! But was God happy? NO! God was still not happy! Because in the course of His labors, He had forgotten one thing. He did not have a Marine uniform for Himself!!

But He thought about it, and thought about it, and was satisfied Himself in knowing that:
NOT EVERYONE CAN BE A MARINE!
