Post; Shot in the Dark


An old Spike Milligan joke revisited.

A squaddie in an OP sees a shape moving towards him through the bush so he opens fire and is relieved to hear a smack as his shot takes down the intruder. Going forward to investigate he comes across his platoon sergeant; on his back, groaning loudly and badly wounded. Seriously concerned the squaddie gets onto his mobile to report the incident. (More defense cuts no radio.)
Getting through to HQ he makes the following call.
Christ! He yells in a panic, ˜My platoon sergeant is dead. What can I do?
A calm voice at the other end replies, ˜Take it easy. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead. There is a silence, and then a shot is heard.
The squaddie comes back on the phone, OK, now what?”
