No Rival
A soldier was stopped by an MP in the street.
"This place is off limits for the military personnel, soldier," the cop remarked.
"Who says this?" the indignant man asked.
"It's an order of General Manson!"
"What an idiot!" commented the soldier.
And he was immedeately taken to the Provost Marshal.
"Sir,"reported the policeman,"he called our general commander an idiot."
'I didn't mean our general commander, sir," exclaimed the soldier. "It's the commander of the neighboring garrison that I mean."
"He is telling the damned lie," exclaimed the policeman. "He meant just our garrison commander. It is known to everyone that there is no greater idiot in the whole world than our garrison commander."
