CRANKS AND RANKS
Orderly Room Clerk: "I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. The idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart." A Captain: "You must not quarrel in training hours. It always seems to interrupt on argument." A Major: ''How can these men survive in Camp without a wet canteen? For the past year they have been living on nothing but food and water." A Bird Fancier: "I have crossed a homing pigeon with a woodpecker. It should be useful to the Tank Brigade because she not only delivers messages, but knocks on the door as well." A Lady Fancier: Never marry a girl because she looks sensible. A sensible girl has more sense than to look sensible." Have you heard of the latest German gun? It is stated to be so big that the recoil takes back the dead and wounded and brings back the reinforcements.
