The Colonel went out to find that none of his Squaddies were there. One finally ran up, panting heavily.
"Sorry, sir! I can explain, you see I had a date and it ran a little late. I ran to the bus but missed it, I hailed a cab but it broke down, found a farm, bought a horse but it dropped dead, ran 10 miles, and now I'm here."
The Colonel was very skeptical about this explanation but at least he was here so he let the Squaddie go. Moments later, eight more Squaddies came up to the Colonel panting, he asked them why they were late.

The Colonel eyed them, feeling very skeptical but since he let the first guy go, he let them go, too. A ninth Squaddie jogged up to the Colonel, panting heavily.
"Sorry, sir! I had a date and it ran a little late, I ran to the bus but missed it, I hailed a cab but..."
"Let me guess," the Colonel interrupted, "it broke down."
"No," said the Squaddie,"there were so many dead horses in the road, it took forever to get around them."
:cool:
