| The recruit had just arrived at post in the desert. He asked his sergeant what the men did for recreation. The sergeant smiled wisely and said, "You'll see." The young man was puzzled, "Well, you've got more than a hundred men on this base and I don't see a single woman." "You'll see," the sergeant repeated. That afternoon, three hundred camels were herded in the corral. At a signal, the men seemed to go wild. They leaped into the corral and began to screw the camels. The recruit saw the sergeant hurrying past him and grabbed his arm. "I see what you mean, but I don't understand," he said. "There must be three hundred of those camels and only about a hundred of us. Why is everybody rushing? Cant a man take his time?" "What?" exclaimed the sergeant, startled. "And get stuck with an ugly one?" |
