This retired Gunny was tired of laying around, so, he went job hunting. however, every place he went the HR people told him that while he was very qualified for their job, they were aware of the personalities of Gunnery Sergeants and they were concerned that the other employees would be offended by his manner. This went on for several days when he passed by this grocery store with a "Help Wanted' sign in the window. The Gunny went into the store, found the manager and made his appeal.
This time he was hired, with a strong admonition to watch his language and was put to work stocking the shelves. After awhile a little old lady came up to him and jabbed him with her umbrella and asked" where are the canned peas?" He told her that they were out of canned peas right now. After a bit longer she reappeared, jabbed him and asked the same question; again, he told her they were out of canned peas.

Still later the Gunny was on a ladder stocking the top shelf when the same little old lady returned, jabbed him with her umbrella and asked the same question. This time, with gritted teeth the old Gunny looked at her for awhile, then said" Madam, what do you have if you take the F**k out of peas." She stared back at him for a long moment and finally said" there's no f**k in peas: too which the Gunny exclaimed " Lady, thats what I have been telling you all morning
