A friend of mine joined the Navy and soon after he had completed boot camp, he was invited to be in a friend’s wedding. He asked an officer for a pass and was told he had to be back by 7 p.m. Sunday.
“You don’t understand, sir,” my friend said. “I’m in the wedding.” The officer replied, “No, YOU don’t understand. You’re in the Navy.”

At my sister’s wedding, I was cornered by my aunt, who proceeded to talk my ears off for over an hour.
I was chatting to a friend about this a few days later, and he remarked, “What a bummer — not much you can do in a situation like that.” I said that I even considered feigning death to get out of it, but decided against it. When he asked why, I told him. “I was worried she’d just start giving a eulogy.”
