Just Following Orders...
A new soldier was on sentry
duty at the main gate. His orders were clear. No car was to enter unless
it had a special sticker on the windshield. A big Army car came up with
a general seated in the back.
The sentry said, "Halt, who goes there?" The chauffeur, a corporal,
answered, "General Wheeler."
"I'm sorry, I can't let you through. You've got to have a sticker on
the windshield."
The general said, "Drive on!"
The sentry said, "Hold it! You really can't come through. I have orders
to shoot if you try driving in without a sticker."
The general repeated, "I'm telling you, son, drive on!"
The sentry walked up to the rear window and said, "General, I'm new
at this. Do I shoot you or the driver?"
