Always on Duty

A new soldier was on sentry duty at the main gate. His orders were clear: No car was to enter unless it had a special sticker on the windshield. A big Army car came up with a general seated in the back. The sentry said, „Halt, who goes there?“The chauffeur, a corporal, says, „General Wheeler.““I’m sorry, I can’t let you through. You’ve got to have a sticker on the windshield.“The general said, „Drive on!“The sentry said, „Hold it! You really can’t come through. I have orders to shoot if you try driving in without a sticker.“The general repeated, „I’m telling you, son, drive on!“The sentry walked up to the rear window and said, „General, I’m new at this. Do I shoot you or the the driver?“
