A New Navy mariner is having a bad day.
He just got a letter in the mail letting him know that his wife was leaving him, his dog died, and that his truck was getting repossesd.
While retrofitting a 500lb bomb onto a a Corsair, he gets distracted and the bomb falls off of the taxi and lands on his foot.
Of course, the Captain calls him to his quarters. The man is expecting quite a thrashing and perhaps an end to his career.
As he walks up the stiars to the Captain's quarters, he is sweating bullets, and can't believe how bad his day is going. Now, he will have nothing, he tells himself, and he prepares to meet his doom.
As he walks in, he is surprised to see all of the officers gathered around the Captain with wine glasses in their hands.
As the Captain notices the young Marine walk in, everyone takes notice and a chilling silence grips the room.
The Captain raises his glass and utters this toast judiciously:

for creating a head scratcher.
