Dear List Members;
Heard this one ages ago--maybe around 1973ish--
Civil War private along with his mess mates telling this story.
"I've got picket duty again." Said the Private.
Mess mate asked-- "Why you got picket duty again?"
Private responded --"Well, ya know when we fell in for drill'n and First Sergeant said "Fix Bayonets?" --[Private paused] -- "Well-" the Private said; "I told the First Sergeant that my bayonet didn't need fix'n."
Mess mate asked; "So?"
Private responds -- "First Sergeant told me I was
special! And, told me I got picket duty again."
Just share'n
Wonder when the Private figured out the "Fix Bayonets" was to affix it onto the weapon.
Respectfully submitted in the spirit of humor,
M. E. Wolf
