The private who answered the call said: "Two jeeps,one truck and one sedan for the stupid general."

A story circulated around Wall Street awhile ago about a tough chairman of a major company who stopped into the famous
restaurant,"21",for a quick bite. Not being too hungry,he asked
for half a sirloin steak. Normally the waiter would simply have
told him they didn't serve half steaks,but given the importance
of this customer,the waiter agreed and left for the kitchen.
Unbeknownst to the waiter,the chairman followed him to the kitchen to tell him he wanted the steak rare. As the waiter announced to the chef,"I need half a steak for a real jerk,"he noticed the chairman standing behind him and,without missing a stroke,continued to comment to the chef,"and the other half goes to this gentleman."
