That J.D. Vance Thread

[Fireball]

A little less alarming, Vance is bad at math. At a recent photo op, Vance claimed that a dozen eggs was $4.00. Behind him was a sign proclaiming the price of eggs was 2.99 dollars for a dozen. He was holding a carton of 24 eggs.

He's a former jarhead. Counting to 24 is a big ask.

Eh. Once a Marine, always a Marine. A cautionary tale of being in the Navy and telling jokes about Marines in a bar:
I told this joke, "In the early days of the space program, a chimp was trained to operate systems on the space capsule. It was during the Cold War, and NASA, fearing that the chimp might fall into Russian hands if the capsule went off course during re-entry, decided that it needed some protection. So, a Marine was detailed to provide protection, complete with a .45 auto side-arm. <Marines are grinning> During countdown, launch and assent, the chimp is pushing buttons, turning knobs and stepping on pedals. Every once in awhile, the chimp reaches into a pocket in its overalls, pulls out a small card, and stuffs it back in. Once they are in orbit, things are getting dull, and the Marine gets curious about what the card says. He reaches over and pulls the card out. It says, 'Feed the Marine at 5:00'" The Marines are no longer grinning. I was in top shape in those days and could run like a deer, even while laughing.
