Weather Baloon, 1960



Joke #1 - Minutes after releasing the world's largest weather balloon from the deck of the aircraft carrier Valley Forge, reports of UFOs skyrocketed among the crew of the aircraft carrier Valley Forge.

Joke #2 - Navy sends world's largest spermatozoa skyward, doing nothing to dispel stereotypes about sailors.

Joke #3 - Navy sends world's largest spermatozoa skyward. Sky says it "just wants to be friends". Sky's friends say it "can do better".

Bad joke #4 comes to us from MisterFancyHotBalls_2. We just can't stay mad at you! - What was later to be referred to as a joke "In very bad taste" by the commanding officer, the US Navy deployed the world's largest "Get Well Soon" helium balloon over the area Saddam Hussein's body was laid to rest. This was then followed by many moments of uncontrollable fits of laughter by the same commander & his crew. They were subsequently reprimanded & ordered to the ship's galley for pizza & shots.

Joke #5 comes from first time commenter, long time wanker Webe Gumbar. If only it could have been joke 121212. Maybe next time, Webe! - Recently declassified- In 1969 FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover convinced newly elected President Richard Nixon to use a secret fund established by Howard Hughes to back CIA and military efforts to cause a giant raindrop to fall up instead of down, part of a larger government effort to shame and discredit radical songwriters Hal David and Burt Bacharach by negating the premise of their hit song "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head". The misguided stunt inspired the backwards vocal tracks in the Beatles song "Rain" while fueling numerous "told-you-so" rants among music critics and climate science deniers.
