Having just moved into his new office, a pompous, new colonel was
sitting at his desk when an airman knocked on the door. Conscious of his new position, the colonel quickly picked up the phone, told the
airman to enter, then said into the phone, "Yes, General, I'll be
seeing him this afternoon and I'll pass along your message. In the
meantime, thank you for your good wishes, sir."
Feeling as thou gh he had sufficiently impressed the young enlisted
man, he asked, "What do you want?"
"Nothing important, sir, the airman replied, "I'm just here to hook up your telephone."
