A colonel was crossing a parade ground when he passed a recruit. To the colonel’s surprise the latter took not the slightest notice of him. The colonel demanded, "Why don’t you salute?” The recruit remained silent. “Don't you know who I am? I am the colonel!” yelled the C.O. The recruit woke up and said, “Oh, you’re Ihe colonel, are yer? Well you’d better buzz off, for the sergeant-major’s been round ’ere three times looking for yer!”
