The Jungle Assignment


   A new commanding officer was sent to a jungle outpost to relieve a
retiring colonel.

          After welcoming his replacement, and showing the courtesies (gin
and tonic, cucumber sandwiches)

          that protocol decrees, the retiring colonel said, "You must meet
Captain Smithers, my right-hand man.

          God, he's really the strength of this office.  His talent is
simply boundless."



          Smithers was summoned and introduced to the new CO, who was
surprised to meet a toothless,

          hairless, scabbed, and pockmarked specimen of humanity, a
particularly unattractive man less than three feet tall.

          "Smithers, old man, tell your new CO about yourself."  "Well, sir,
I graduated with honours from Sandhurst,

          joined the regiment, and won the Military Cross and Bar after
three expeditions behind enemy lines. I've represented Great Britain in          equestrian events and won a Silver Medal in the middleweight
boxing division of the Olympics.  I have researched the history of. . .  "

           Here the colonel interrupted, "Yes, yes; never mind that,
Smithers.  The CO can find all that in your personnel file.

           Tell him about the day you called the witch doctor a
mother-fucker."
