I'm always impressed with the way military honor guards can stay focused and keep a straight face. But they are human, after all. There has to be something that would make them laugh, right? Like maybe a funny-looking rubber chicken peeking over their shoulders! The reactions are priceless.

I especially like this video because I, too, used to have a rubber chicken like that. The radio station used to do this whole 'Fowl-shooting contest' during halftime at the Harlem Globetrotters games and I was given custody of the chicken, that looked exactly like the one in this video.

It made the same sound too, which is quiet here, but quite loud when the chicken is really squeezed. I used to keep the bird in the trunk of my car. Why? Because, every once in a while, when my kids had friends along, I'd turn the car sharply to slide the other stuff in to the chicken, which would let out a loud, freakish squawk. The reactions were hilarious! (yes, I'm a little twisted!) Then there was the time a policeman found the chicken in the trunk while my son was driving. I'm sure THAT reaction was priceless too! (he just told them it was his Mom's. They didn't ask any more questions)

In this video, U.S. Air Force Honor Guard cadets are standing at attention when a weird-looking chicken peeks around their shoulders and lets out an even weirder little noise. Many of them crack up, but there are a few diehards who keep a straight face. Personally, I wouldn't be able to stop the giggles!
