SARCASTIC OLD VET.
A man in the Veteran Reserves was called up recently.
After a week at his new quarters he was brought up before the officer commanding for not cleaning his rifle one day. Said the officer commanding:—
“Hem, you’re an old soldier re-enlisted, I see. I suppose it will be many years ago since you were reprimanded? What was your last offence? Can you remember what it was?”
Old Soldier (with irony on account of the repeated assertions to his age): “For not cleanin’ me bow an’ arrow, sir!”
