Sentry Duty
A new soldier was on sentry duty at the main gate. His orders were clear.
No vehicle was to enter unless it had the proper sticker on the windshield.
Now, a huge Army car came up with a general seated in the back. The blonde sentry said, "Halt, who goes there?"
The chauffeur, says, "General Wheeler."
"I'm sorry, I can't let you through. You've got to have a sticker on the
windshield."
The general said, "Drive on!"
The sentry said, "Hold it! You really can't come through. I have orders to
shoot if you try driving on without your sticker."
The general repeated, "I'm telling you, corporal, drive on!"
The blonde sentry walked up to the rear window and said, "General, I'm new at this. Do I shoot you or the driver?"
If our country is worth dying for in time of war let us resolve that it is truly worth living for in time of peace. ~Hamilton Fish
During World War II, bakers in the United States were ordered to stop selling sliced bread for the duration of the war on January 18, 1943. Only whole loaves were made available to the public. It was never explained how this action helped the war effort.
