The laugh line among junior officers in Vietnam in 1964 was: "It's a
lousy war, but it's the only war we've got!"


That line has also been used in movies. I am willing to bet it probably goes
back to the invention of the rock. I wonder when the "shell fragment removed
from eye" gag first came out.
