Joining the Army

"Top Record"

The principal was very proud of his
school's academic record.

"It is very impressive." said one parent
who was considering sending his son there.

"How do you maintain such high standards?"

"Simple," said the principal. "The school
motto says it all."

"What's that?" asked the parent.

"If at first you don't succeed, you're expelled."

"Joining the Army"

As the family gathered for a big dinner
together, the youngest son had an
announcement to make: He'd just signed
up at an army recruiter's office. There
were audible gasps around the table, then
some laughter, as his older brothers shared
their disbelief that he could handle this
new situation.

"Oh, come on, quit pulling our legs,"
snickered one. "You didn't really do that,
did you?"

"I'm positive you'd never get through basic
training," scoffed another. The new recruit
looked to his mother for help; but she was
just gazing at him.

When she finally spoke, it was to voice a
single question. "Do you really plan to
make your own bed every morning?"
