Let Me Taste The Soup
Ato disobey a command of a colonel is to invite disaster, as many a green rookie had leaned.
One morning on a tour of inspection a colonel stopped at the kitchen of one of the companies, where he net two K.P s with a large soup kettle.
“Let me taste that soup.” He bellowed. One of the men hurried back after a large spoon, which he handed respectfully to the colonel.
The officer plunged the ladle into the pot, took a mouthful of the steaming liquid, and smacked his lips critically. Then he let out a howl that could be he ard half a mile away.
“Soup, you blasted fool, do you call that soup?”
“no, isr colonel, that’s just some dish water we were carrying out.”
讓我嘗嘗那鍋湯
頂撞上校就意味著災難的降臨，這是眾多新兵們得到的結論。
一天早上，上校在查勤時，在一個連的廚房停了焉，廚房里放著一個湯鍋，旁邊著兩個炊事員。
“讓我嘗嘗那鍋湯。”他大聲地說。一個炊事員馬上拿來了勺子，恭敬地遞給了上校。上校把勺子伸進鍋內，盛了一勺湯放進口中，咂了咂嘴，接著發出了一聲半英里之外都能聽見的咆哮。
“湯？你們這些飯桶，你們稱它為湯？”
“不是的，長官，上校，那里面是我們打算倒掉的洗碗水。
