Stand Still Soldier
Military training:
During camouflage training in Louisiana, a private disguised
as a tree trunk had made a sudden move that was spotted by a
visiting general.
"You simpleton!" the officer barked. "Don't you know that by
jumping and yelling the way you did, you could have
endangered the lives of the entire company?"
"Yes sir," the solder answered apologetically. "But, if I
may say so, I did stand still when a flock of pigeons used
me for target practice and I never moved a muscle when a
large dog peed on my lower branches but when two squirrels
ran up my pants leg and I heard the bigger say,
"Let's eat one now and save the other until winter' ---that
did it."
