A newly appointed camp commander was
inspecting the place, when he saw two soldiers guarding a bench. He went over
and asked them why, “We don’t know. The last commander told us to, and so we
did. It’s some sort of regimental tradition.”
The new camp commander searched for
the last commander’s phone number and called him to ask him why he wanted this
particular bench guarded. “I don’t know. The previous commander had guards, so
I kept the tradition.” Going back another three commanders, he found a now 100
year old retired General.
“Excuse me, sir, I’m now the CO of
the camp you commanded 60 years ago. I have found two men assigned to guard a
bench. Could you please tell me what’s so special about it?”
The retired General said, “What? The
paint is still wet?”
