The drill sergeant making his morning announcements to a group of newcomers at Parris Island Boot Camp Daily Training, stated: "Today, gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. First, the good. Private Jones will be setting the pace on our morning run.” With this the platoon was overjoyed, as Private Jones was overweight and terribly slow. But then the drill sergeant finished his statement: "Now for the bad news, Private Jones will be driving my Hummer."
