Contributed by Sermon Central on Apr 10, 2006 (message contributor)
A man called up the local armory to get a report on the number and status of the weapons and vehicles. A private answered the phone and said, "We’ve got 3 jeeps, 4 tanks, 500 rifles, and a ton of ammo. Oh, we also have two Cadillacs for the fat generals."
There was silence, then this response, "Private, do you know who I am?"
"No."
"I’m General Westin."
"General, do you know who I am?"
"No."
"See you later, fatty."
Source Unknown.
