BATTLE
WEARY
Washington and his men had just finished a
big battle and were tired and wounded. They walked for miles looking for a place to stay
when they came upon a very small broken down shack. Washington asked the man who answered
the door if he had room to help some of his men as they were tired and sick.
The man said, "As you can see I only
have room for one man."
So Washington picked out his most severely
wounded man, Private Cox, to stay there and he then left with the rest of his men looking
for another place.
After walking for several more miles, they
finally came across a big beautiful mansion on a hill and proceeded to the mansion.
Washington rang the bell and a beautiful woman came to the door, and asked him what he
wanted. Washington explained that he had just fought a terrible battle and that some of
his men were wounded and that they were all tired and needed some shelter and a place to
rest.
The madam explained that the place was
actually a bordello, but that they would be happy to take in him and his men. In fact, she
was excited about it.
She said, "How many men do you have?
Washington answered, "About 99 men
without Cox."
The madam said, "You gotta be shittin'
me!"
