After the brief Falkland Islands war, back in the UK a British regiment commander was addressing some troops under his command who had heroically performed above and beyond the call of duty. He informed them that the crown was short of medals but Her Majesty's Army had committed to reward each of the three soldiers 100 pounds per inch of distance between two different parts of the man's body. The commander addressed the first soldier, "Where would you like to be measured, Private?" "From the tip of me head to the soles of me feet, Sir!" he replied. "Very good!," the commander said, and the sergeant was measured at 72 inches He was paid the handsome sum of 7,200 pounds. The second soldier was asked, "What about you, Corporal?" "Between the tips of the fingers of me outstretched arms, Sir!" the corporal said. "Very good!" replied the commander. The corporal, a man of considerable wingspan, was rewarded 8000 quid. Finally, the last soldier was addressed, a grizzled old Sargeant who'd been in Her Majesty's service forever. "And you, Sargeant, where would you like measured?" "From the tip of me pecker to the bottom of me balls, Sir!" retorted the private. The commander ordered the private to drop his pants for the ensuing measurement. Immediately the general's mouth fell agape and he stammered, "Where in God's name are your balls, Sargeant?" "Goose Green, Falkland Islands, Sir!!"

 

I feel like.. you have posted this joke at least five times before.

 

I did a search and couldn't find it.

 

I remember this one...

 

Was the search for Falklands? That part is new, but the premise of the joke has been repeated.
