There's an old story in the Marine Corps about a second lieutenant who inspected his Marines in the field, and afterward told the "Gunny" that the men smelled bad.

The lieutenant suggested the solution is that they should change underwear.

The Gunny responded, "Aye, aye, sir, I'll see to it immediately!"

The Gunny went straight to the squad tent and announced..."The lieutenant thinks you guys smell bad, and wants you to change your underwear. Smith, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change with Witkowsky, and Brown, you change with Schultz. Now get to it!"

THE MORAL: A candidate may promise 'change' in Washington , but don't count on things smelling any better.
