"Special Sticker"

A new soldier was on sentry duty at the main gate. His orders
were clear. No car was to enter unless it had a special sticker
on the windshield. A big Army car came up with a general
seated in the back. The sentry said, "Halt, who goes there?"

The chauffeur, a corporal, says, "General Wheeler."

"I'm sorry, I can't let you through. You've got to have a sticker
on the windshield."

The general said, "Drive on!"

The sentry said, "Hold it! You really can't come through. I
have orders to shoot if you try driving in without a sticker."

The general repeated, "I'm telling you, son, drive on!"

The sentry walked up to the rear window and said, "General,
I'm new at this. Do I shoot you or the the driver?"

"Military Etiquette"

Officer: Soldier, do you have change for a dollar?

Soldier: Sure, buddy. (starts looking for change...)

Officer: That's no way to address an officer! Now let's try it again.
Do you have change for a dollar?

Soldier: No, SIR!
