Another salute to our brave fellow citizens wearing the uniform of our country. And to the officers thereof, I’ll even use all my fingers:
A Light Colonel has just received his full-bird rank, and he enters his brand-new office with pristine furniture and fixtures. He sits behind his desk, and just as he starts to settle in, there’s a knock at his door. “Come in,” he says, but, as the enlisted man enters his office, the Colonel, filled with his own sense of self-importance, picks up the telephone on his desk and begins speaking into it. “Yes, Mister President. Yes, that’s my advice to you and the First Lady; you’d be wise to heed it!” He hangs up the phone, then addresses the corporal who is standing at the doorway holding a bag of tools. “Well, what do you want? Can’t you see I’m a busy man?”The Sergeant says, “Yes, Sir, I see that. I’ve just come in to install your telephone, Sir.”
