The following conversation took place in the morning drill of the US Army:
Sergeant Thomas: When you are frightened, what do you do?
Private Joe: Keep on fighting!
Sergeant Thomas: You better. And if the enemy shoots off your right ear, what do you do?
Private Joe: Keep on fighting!
Sergeant Thomas: Good. But if the enemy also shoots off your left ear, what then?
Private Joe: Then I can't see.
Sergeant Thomas: Can't see? Where did you get your education, private?
Private Joe: Well sergeant, if both my ears are gone my helmet falls down...over my eyes.
