A young man from Sunderland decided his future was in the armed forces. When he returned home for his first leave, his father decided to take him out to the local pub for a beer and a man-to-man chat.

Once they were settled away with their beers, his dad said, "So son, how do you like the armed forces?"

"Not too bad so far, dad, but I had a really weird experience the other day."

"Oh, really, what happened?" asked his father.

"Well, dad," said the son, "We were on parachute training, and I was the last to jump. Everyone else jumped right out of the plane, but when I got to the door, I froze up and couldn't jump."

“His father said, "I don't think that that was very unusual." "Well," said the son, "The jumpmaster was about 6'4'',250lb, and gay, and he told me that if I didn't jump, he would take me to the back of the plane and bugger the arse off me." "Did you jump?" asked the father.

The son replied, "A little bit, at first."
