DIGGER'S HISTORY PAGE

Just a little about me: I have been a law enforcement officer in west St. Louis County, Missouri for over three years now. I spent nearly three as a Lambert International Airport Police Officer. I got my start as an UNITED STATES MARINE Military Police Officer for six years. Those websurfers who are of Marine heritage or in other armed forces will find the humor in the following passage. (note: it is not intended to offend anyone, but a military background helps one to understand it! By the way, I spent four years in a Catholic Seminary studing to be a priest.)
IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND...THE WORD WAS...GOD!
In the beginning was God and all else was darkness and viod, without form. So God created the Heavens and the Earth. He created the Sun, and the Moon, and the Stars, so that light might pierce the darkness. And the Earth, God divided between the Land and the Sea. These He filled with many assorted creatures. And the dark, salty, slimey creatures that inhabited the murkey depths of the Oceans, God called them Sailors, and He dressed them accordingly,w ith trousers that looked like bells at the bottom and with cute little flaps on their shirts to hide hickies on their necks. He also gave them long sideburns and shabby looking heads. God nicknamed them "Squids" and banished them to a lifetime at sea so that normal folks would not have to associate with them. To further identify these unloved creatures, He called them "Petty" and "Commodore" instead of titles worthy of red-blooded men. And the flighty creatures of the Land, God called Soldiers. And with a twinkle in his eye, and a sense of humor that only He could posess, God gave them trousers too short, and covers too large, and pockets to warm their hands. And to adorn their uniforms, God gave them badges in qunatiities that only a dime store owner could appreciate. And He gave them emblems...and devices that dangled. (When you are God you tend to get carried away in a big way...) On the 5th day, He thought about creating some air creatures and even desgined a Greyhound busdrivers uniform especially for them-but He discarded the idea during the first week and it was not until years later that some Apostles "resurected" this theme and established what we now know as the "Wild Blue Yonder Wonders". On the 7th day, as you know, God rested. And the 8th day, at 0730, God looked down upon the Earth and He was not happy! So He thought about his labours, and in his infinite wisdom, God created a divine creature, and this He called a Marine. And these Marines whom God had created in his own image, were to be of the Air, and of the Land, and of the Sea. And these He gave many wonderful uniforms. Some were green, some were blue with red trim and in the early days, some were even a beautiful tan. He gave them practical, fighting uniforms, so they could wage war against the foces of satan and evil. He gave them service uniforms for their daily work and training, that theymight be sharp and ready... And He gave them evening and dress uniforms. Sharp, stylish, handsome things, so that they might promenade with the ladies on Saturday night and impress everybody! He even gave them swords so that people who were not impressed could be dealt with! And at the end of the 8th day, God looked down upon the Earth, and saw that it was good. But, was God happy? No! God was still not happy! Because in the course of His labours, he had forgotten one thing...He, Himself, did not have a Marine uniform! But He thought about it, and finally satisfied himself in knowing that, well, not everybody can be a
