Situation Report
YUCCA VALLEY, Calif.— The spouse of a 29 Palms Marine has been reporting a sense of confusion over the past few weeks, as the young woman doesn’t understand why her husband keeps screaming out “Chesty!” during sex.
Anita Barrows, wife of Staff Sgt. Greg Barrows, says she can’t determine whether her husband’s constant shouts of “Semper Fi, Chesty!,” “Chesty, we’re doing it!,” and “Chesty, we’re taking that hill!,” are meant to mock Anita’s lack of cleavage, or whether Greg means to show support and sympathy for his wife’s A-cup predicament.
“It’s just really hard to figure out why Greg keeps calling me that,” said the 28-year-old homemaker, who also claims that, short of having to constantly pull her husband away from watching numerous World War II documentaries when it’s time for bed, her and Greg’s marriage is perfect in every way.
