During an
Army war game, a commanding officer's jeep got stuck in
the mud. The
C.O. saw some men lounging around nearby and asked
them to help
him get unstuck.
"Sorry sir,"
said one of the loafers, "but we've been classified
dead and the
umpire said we couldn't contribute in any way."
The C.O. turned
to his driver and said, "Go drag a couple of
those dead bodies
over here and throw them under the wheels to
give us some
traction."
