I resent the Army joke and demand a recount!


A new soldier was on sentry duty at the main gate. His orders were clear. No car was to enter unless it had a special sticker on the windshield. A big Army car came up with a general seated in the back. The sentry said, "Halt, who goes there?"

The chauffeur, a corporal, says, "General Wheeler."

"I'm sorry, I can't let you through. You've got to have a sticker on the windshield."

The general said, "Drive on!"

The sentry said, "Hold it! You really can't come through. I have orders to shoot if you try driving in without a sticker."

The general repeated, "I'm telling you, son, drive on!"

The sentry walked up to the rear window and said, "General, I'm new at this. Do I shoot you or the the driver?"

"I resent the Army joke and demand a recount!"

That was a test right? You know we don't keep lists so how can we have a recount?

Having just moved into his new office, a pompous, new lieutenant-colonel was sitting at his desk when a soldier knocked on the door. Conscious of his new position, the lieutenant-colonel quickly picked up the phone, told the soldier to enter, then said into the phone, "Yes, General, I'll be seeing him this afternoon and I'll pass along your message. In the meantime, thank you for your good wishes, sir." Feeling as though he had sufficiently impressed the young enlisted man, he asked, "What do you want?"

"Nothing important, sir," the soldier replied, "I'm just here to hook up your telephone."
