Camouflage Training
During camouflage training, a private disguised as a tree trunk had made a
sudden move that was spotted by a visiting general. "You jackass!" the
officer barked. "Don't you know that by jumping and yelling the way you did,
you could have endangered the lives of the entire company?"
"Yes sir," the solder answered apologetically. "But, if I may say so, I did
stand still when a flock of pigeons used me for target practice. And I never
moved a muscle when a large dog peed on my lower branches. But when two
squirrels ran up my pants leg and I heard the bigger say, 'Let's eat one now
and save the other until winter' -- that did it."
