A Solider Endures Camouflage Training
During camouflage training in Louisiana, a private disguised as a tree trunk
had made a sudden move that was spotted by a visiting general.
"You simpleton!" the officer barked. "Don't you know that by
jumping and yelling the way you did, you could have endangered the lives of
the entire company?"
"Yes sir," the solder answered apologetically. "But, if I may
say so, I did stand still when a flock of pigeons used me for target practice.
And I never moved a muscle when a large dog peed on my lower branches. But When
two squirrels ran up my pants leg and I heard the bigger say, "Let's eat
one now and save the other until winter' ---that did it."
