EXEMPT OF OBLIGATION

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."
