A couple of kids were talking on the bus the other day, the following conversation has had all the swearing removed and is consequently about 30% shorter than it was...

Kid A: "I want to join the Territorial Army, it looks really amazing."
Kid B: "You're not old enough."
Kid A: "I know but I'll get some fake ID."
Kid B: "Uh huh. So you want to get shot at for not much money?"
Kid A: "I know what it's like, I've nearly completed COD5 on the hard setting."
Kid B: "(long pause)...You'd make a good officer."
Kid A: "Thanks, man."
Kid B: "Uhhh yeah, you're welcome."

I guess Patriotism ambushes Intelligence more often than not.
