After a weekend vacation, the sargeant got to the military base only to find out that none of his soldiers made it on time. It took 3 hours before they started showing up. By then he was about to explode with rage.
He decided to summon each of them to his office and get an explanation.
The first soldier walks in, and the sargeant asks: "Well, what's your excuse for showing up so late?"
"Sorry, Sarge! I can explain! You see, I was late for the bus and had to hitchhike, no cars stopped, and then suddenly, an old man driving a horse and buggy stops and offers me a ride! Well, you know, I couldn't refuse the man's kind gesture, and I got on, only it took forever to get here, and that's why I was late!"
"hmmph," said the surprised Seargant, "I guess that's a reasonable explanation." and he let the soldier go.
He called the next soldier in and asked for his excuse.
"Sorry, sergeant ! I can explain! You see, I was late for the bus and had to hitchhike, then this old woman with a horse and carriage stopped for me..." and the soldier tells him the same story, that he was late because the buggy was so slow.
One after another, all the soldiers file in and tell him the exact same story.
The last soldier than walks in, and the sergeant, now quite annoyed, says: "I suppose you hitch-hiked too?"
"Yes sarge!"
"And I suppose you also got a ride?"
"Yes sir!"
"And I suppose it was on a horse and buggy?"
"No sir!"
"No?" asked the surprised Seargant.
"No sir, it was a 2012 Mercedes, sir!"
"Then why the heck were you late??" Shouted the searganet.
"We tried to make good time sir," answered the soldier, "but the road was completely blocked with horses and buggies!"
