Hopkins, a mummy`s boy, was sent to navy. After a month working there his father died. The General told the official to tell Hopkins the bad news, and asked him to be very keen about it, since Hopkins is a very sensitive man. The official told him not to worry, as he knew how to deal with certain situations. The official, with a commanding and powerful voice said to Hopkins : "Hopkins, your father is dead!!!!!!!!!!" Hopkins cried and cried for a whole month after this news. Three months after Hopkin`s mother died, and the general wanted to say himself the bad news. The official insisted that he should give him the bad news. After hesitating a little, the general agreed, but told him to be more keen. The official lined up his soldiers and in a commanding voice he yelled: "All soldiers that have their mother alive; two paces forward" "HOPKINS, where are you coming?????" |
