Reminds me of a favorite joke, the punch line of which is, "It's a trick, General! There's two of 'em!" |
Never heard that one. Care to recite it? |
Ok, but two disclaimers first. One, please excuse the fact that it's totally off topic. Two, "Yankees" might not like it (this can be corrected by making substitutions where appropriate). Alrighty then....
Sherman begins his famous "March to the Sea" and heads out of Atlanta. About the time he reaches Stone Mountain, a scout rides up and says that he's spotted a Reb up on the ridge. Sherman orders one of his best riflemen to go after him. After a while, when the man fails to return, he sends a team of skirmishers. Later still, when they fail to return, he sends a whole platoon. After several hours, one man, badly wounded, staggers back down and falls to the ground at Sherman's feet, gasping for air. "It's a trick, General!" he says. "There's two of 'em!"
Yeah, I know, it's not very funny  (it's Lewis Grizzard's, not mine). But you asked. :P

This reminds me of another stupid joke that I somehow always remembered (don't know the source):
During the hight of the Battle of Britain a new CO takes over a depleted squadron. He goes to the mess to be introduced to the pilots but there's just a sergeant major and two pilots. The sergeant major salutes and tells the new CO: ""Sir, meet the pilots of squadron XXX, both of them!"
