The Sgt Major
Take One
Two Sergeant Majors were walking across campus when one said, “Where did you get such a great bike?” The second Sergeant Major replied, “Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, “Take what you want.” The second Sergeant Major nodded approvingly, “Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit.”
Take Two
To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half-empty. To the Sergeant Major, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
Take Three
A pastor, a doctor and a Sergeant Major were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The Sergeant Major fumed, “What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!” The doctor chimed in, “I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!” The pastor said, “Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word with him. Hey, George. Say, what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?” The greens keeper replied, “Oh, yes, that's a group of blind firefighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime.” The group was silent for a moment. The pastor said, “That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight.” The doctor said, “Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them.” The Sergeant Major said, “Why can't these guys play at night?”
