" The US Navy has rewarded Bill Cosby with an honorary rank. According to CNN, the comedian attended a ceremony on Thursday in Washington to speak about his early life in the service. &amp;quot;I wasn&amp;#039;t a bad boy, I was just sort of left to wander around,&amp;quot; said Cosby, who served as a hospital corpsman as a young man. The Cosby Show star joined the Navy in 1956. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t want to join the Army because I&amp;#039;ll die in a foxhole in dirt... I don&amp;#039;t want to be in the Marine Corp because you die before you get out of there,&amp;quot; he told the crowd at the ceremony. He continued: &amp;quot;I want to be in the Navy, because no matter how you die, you&amp;#039;re in the middle of the ocean and it will wash out your underpants and that will make my mother very happy.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
