Late G.I.s
The General went out to find that none of
his G.I.s were there. One finally ran up, panting heavily.
"Sorry, sir! I can explain, you see I had a date and
it ran a little late. I ran to the bus but missed it, I hailed
a cab but it broke down, found a farm, bought a horse but
it dropped dead, ran 10 miles, and now I'm here."
The General was very skeptical about this
explanation but at least he was here so he let the G.I. go.
Moments later, eight more G.I.s came up to the general panting,
he asked them why they were late. "Sorry, sir! I had
a date and it ran a little late, I ran to the bus but missed
it, I hailed a cab but it broke down, found a farm, bought
a horse but it dropped dead, ran 10 miles, and now I'm here."
The General eyed them, feeling very skeptical
but since he let the first guy go, he let them go, too. A
ninth G.I. jogged up to the General, panting heavily, "Sorry,
sir! I had a date and it ran a little late, I ran to the bus
but missed it, I hailed a cab but..."
"Let me guess," the General interrupted,
"it broke down."
"No," said the G.I., "there
were so many dead horses in the road, it took forever to get
around them."
If
moths are attracted to the light why don't they come out during
the day? Or do we just not see them because they are trying
to get to the sun? |
