A general is visiting troops in the hospital during wartime. He walks up to the first bed and asks the soldier what he is in for. The soldier replies, “Chronic gonorrhea, sir.” The general asks how he is treating it. The soldier replies, “15 minutes a day with a wire brush, sir.” The general asks what his goal is. The soldier says, “To get back on the front line, sir.”
The general moves on to the next soldier and asks him what he is in for. The soldier says, “Severe anal polyps, sir.” The general asks how he is treating it. The soldier says, “15 minutes a day with the wire brush, sir.” The general then asks what his goal is. The soldier replies, “To get back to the front line, sir.”
The general moves on to the third soldier and asks him what he’s in for. The soldier says, “Chronic gum disease, sir.” The general asks how they are treating it. The soldier says, “15 minutes a day with the wire brush, sir.” The general asks what his goal is. The soldier sighs and says, “To get that wire brush before those first two guys, sir.”
