| The soldier asked for a furlough, so that he might get married. "How long have you known the Girl?" His superior asked. "A Week." "Why, my lad, that is hardly long enough. I suggest that you wait a couple of months, and then, if you still want to get married, I shall grant you a furlough." In two months the soldier was back, reminding his superior of his promise. "So you still want to get married? My, My ! I did not suppose that a young man would stay interested in the same girl for such a long time nowadays." "I know, sir. But it is not the same girl, sir." |
