Semper fucking fi

Rico says his friend Tex sends this one:
Two Texas Highway Patrol officers were conducting speeding enforcement on Highway 77, just south of Kingsville. One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the town. The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading three hundred miles per hour and climbing. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset, and then suddenly turned off.
Just then, a deafening roar over the mesquite trees on Highway 77 revealed that the radar had, in fact, locked onto a USMC F/A-18 Hornet, engaged in a low-flying exercise near its home base at the nearby Naval Air Station.
Back at the Texas Highway Patrol Headquarters in Corpus Christi, the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the Base Commander in Kingsville for shutting down his equipment.
The reply came back in true Marine Corps style:
Thank you for your letter. You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked onto, your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it, which is why it shut down. Furthermore, an air-to-ground missile aboard the fully-armed aircraft had also automatically locked on to your equipment's location. Fortunately, the Marine flying the Hornet recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile system alert status, and was able to override the automated defense system before the missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar position on the side of Highway 77, south of Kingsville. The pilot suggests your officers cover their mouths when swearing at them, as the video systems on these jets are very high tech. Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his left rear molar; it appears the filling is loose. Also, the snap is broken on his holster.
