Very Important Colonel
Having just moved into his new office, a pompous, new colonel
was sitting at his desk when a PFC knocked on the door.
Conscious of his new position, the colonel quickly picked up
the phone, told the PFC to enter, then said into the phone, "Yes,
General, I'll be seeing him this afternoon and I'll pass along your
message. In the meantime, thank you for your good wishes, sir."
Feeling as though he had sufficiently impressed the young
enlisted man, he asked, "What do you want?"
"Nothing important, sir," the PFC replied, "I'm just here to
hook up your telephone."
