The General went out to find that none of his G.I.s
were there. One finally ran up, panting heavily.
"Sorry, sir! I can explain, you see I had a date and

bought a horse but it dropped dead, ran 10 miles,
and now I'm here."
The General was very skeptical about this
explanation but at least he was here so he let the
G.I. go. Moments later, eight more G.I.s came up
to the general panting, he asked them why they
were late.

to the bus but missed it, I hailed a cab but it broke
down, found a farm, bought a horse but it dropped
dead, ran 10 miles, and now I'm here."
The General eyed them, feeling very skeptical but
since he let the first guy go, he let them go, too.
A ninth G.I. jogged up to the General, panting
heavily.

couple of minutes. He is obviously drunk. So the
bartender says to another man in the bar: "Why

man. He stops the car and the drunk stumbles up
the steps to his house with the man.
The drunk's wife greets them at the door: "Why
thank you for bringing him home for me, but
where's his wheel chair?"
