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, says,
"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 the driver?"
