The Sergeant Major noticed a new squaddie and barked at him,
"Get over here now."
"What's your name soldier?"
"John" the soldier replied.
"Look I don't know what army you think you have joined son,
but I don't call ANYONE by his first name!!"
Barked the SM, scowling, "it breeds familiarity, and that leads
to a breakdown in authority!! I refer to my soldiers by their last names only.
Smith, Jones, Baker or whatever, and you are to refer to me as "SIR",
Do I make myself clear??"
"Yes Sir"
"Now that we've got that straight, what's your last name?"
The soldier sighed heavily, "Darling. My name is John Darling, Sir."
"OK, John, here's what I want you to do.............."
"Get over here now."
"What's your name soldier?"
"John" the soldier replied.
