Examples of use word battle Example 1As a crowded airliner is about to
take
off, the peace is shattered by a 5-year-old boy who picks that moment
to throw a wild temper tantrum. No matter what his frustrated,
embarrassed mother does to try to calm him down, the boy continues to
scream
furiously and kick the seats around him.
Suddenly, from
the rear of the plane, an elderly man in the uniform of
an Air Force
General is seen slowly walking forward up the aisle.
Stopping the
flustered mother with an upraised hand, the white-haired,
courtly,
soft-spoken General leans down and, motioning toward his chest,
whispers something into the boy's ear.
Instantly, the boy calms
down, gently takes his mother's hand, and
quietly fastens his seat
belt. All the other passengers burst into
spontaneous
applause.
As the General slowly makes his way back to his seat, one of the
cabin
attendants touches his sleeve. "Excuse me, General," she ask
s
quietly, "but could I ask you what magic words you used on that
little boy?"
The old man smiles serenely and gently confides, "I
showed him my
pilot's wings, service stars, and
battle (synonyms of word battle above) ribbons,
and explained that they
entitle me to throw one passenger out the
plane door on any flight I
choose."

"land-lubber" in a bar. The land-lubber noticed that, like any
self-respecting pirate, this guy had a peg leg, a hook in place of one of
his
hands, and a patch over one eye. The land-lubber just had to
find out how
the pirate got in such bad shape. He asked the pirate,
"How did you
loose your leg?"
The pirate responded, "I lost
me leg in a
battle (synonyms of word battle above) off the coast of
Jamaica!" His new acquaintance
was still curious so he asked, "What about
you hand. Did you lose
it at the same time?"
"No," answered the pirate. "I lost it to
the sharks off the Florida
Keys." Finally, the land-lubber asked, "I
notice you also have an eye
patch. How did you lose your eye?"
The pirate answered, "I was sleeping on a beach when a seagull flew
over and crapped right in me eye." The land-lubber asked: "How
could a
little seagull crap make you loose your eye?"
Th
e pirate snapped, "It was the day after I got me hook."
