The students of an officer candidate school were sitting on the ground in
an open area during a class in infantry tactics.
The lecture was on the placement of weapons in various types of terrain. Throughout,
one member of the group dozed peacefully.
Without warning, the instructor called the dozer's name. Nudged by a companion,
he jumped to his feet in time to hear the instructor ask him to look around
and give a terrain evaluation.
The student gazed around and then proclaimed:
"Well, ten dollars an acre would be all right."
