The Old Man liked to call the whole staff in his headquarters office in to
listen to extremely stale jokes he picked up somewhere. He was just having such
a party and everybody but one lieutenant in the corner laughed uproariously.
"What's the matter, lieutenant," grumbled the Old Man. "Haven't
you got a sense of humor?"
"I don't have to laugh, sir," reported the officer. "I've got
reassignment to another place and leaving Friday anyhow."
