The commander of a unit, a crusty colonel, came mto his adjutant's office with
a letter in his hand and asked curtly: "Haven't these people got the word on
the proper form?"
The adjutant replied that the unit probably had not had the necessary instructions
at the time of the request, but he was sure, they had them by now.
"Okay. Send this back and have them resubmit the proper form," the colonel barked.
Then he added: "And when it gets back here the answer is 'NO'."
