Sir, Yes Sir!

Major Henessey instructed me to take four crates of baked beans over to the commissary, so I've brought this requisition form. Yes, I understand that I'm normally only supposed to take one box over there a week, but Major Henessey very specifically said four crates.

Yes, I realize that it's irregular, but there's nothing I can do about that, you'll have to take it up with Major Henessey.

Um, I don't want to be insubordinate, but is there any chance we could do this a little faster? If I don't find a snipe and bring it back to the barracks tonight, I'm going to have bed-making duty for a week.

What?

Not Talk Like a Private Day either. Then why did you say—

Fine, fine, nevermind, have it your way. I give up!

"I would be gold, except I'm not, I just look like--"

Oh, yeah, it's not Talk Like Iron Pyrite Day either.

"And now for something completely different... a man with a tape recorder up his nose."

"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"

"DINSDALE!"


WHAT?! Aw, shoot. It's not Talk Like a Python day, either.

Maybe it was "Talk like a Vagrant Day"?
Hmmm... I'm not even sure now.
What about "Talk like Don Knotts Day"?

"Yes, I realize that it's irregular"

...then ask the Major for some Pepto.

You've been waiting all year to use these, haven't you?

Actually, I just thought of them this morning. But FWIW, I did think of them all at once.

Then the Major gave me the following puzzle.

A man is taking a fox, a hen and some corn to market when he approaches a river.
A small boat is tied up at the bank of the river, but it's only large enough for him and one thing he's brought with him (the fox, the hen or the corn).

He needs to get across with all three, but he can't leave the hen with the corn, and he can't leave the fox with the hen.

The Major asked me how the man will manage to get all three, and himself, across the river in this small boat?

When I said, "How the hell should I know" I ended up on KP.

Can we shoot him now

or must we wait until we get home?
