How To Beat A Marine

(My husband and I are in the car after leaving the movies. We went to go see ‘The Lucky One’. My husband is a US Marine.)

Me: “I really think Zac Efron did a good job portraying a Marine just back from the war. He was really believable.”

Husband: “No, he didn’t. He didn’t drink, smoke, swear, or get into a fight the whole movie. That’s not a Marine.”

Me: “So what?! He was playing a nice guy. There are Marines out there that don’t do those things!”

Husband: “You know a lot of Marines? Name one.”

Me: “YOU.”

(Silence.)

Husband: “Touché, lady.”
