>The Captain called the Sergeant in. "Sarge, I just got a telegram
>that Private Jones' mother died yesterday. Better go tell him and
>send him in to see me."

>So the Sergeant calls for his morning formation and lines up
>all the troops. "Listen up, men," says the Sergeant. "Johnson, report
>to
>the mess hall for KP. Smith, report to Personnel to sign some
>papers. The rest of you men report to the Motor Pool for
>maintenance. Oh by the way, Jones, your mother died, report
>to the commander."

>Later that day the Captain called the Sergeant into his office.
>"Hey, Sarge, that was a pretty cold way to inform Jones his mother
>died. Couldn't you be a bit more tactful, next time?"

>"Yes, sir," answered the Sarge.

>A few months later, the Captain called the Sergeant in again
>with, "Sarge, I just got a telegram that Private McGrath's mother died.
>You'd better go tell him and send him in to see me. This time be
>more tactful."

>So the Sergeant calls for his morning formation. "Ok, men, fall in
>and listen up." "Everybody with a mother, take two steps forward."
>"NOT SO FAST, McGRATH!"
