Irony, Part 1

WHILE DEPLOYED in Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Storm, I was helping one of our reserve soldiers get a generator running to power a work tent. After assembling the generator, we had to add one quart of regular 30-weight oil, and the soldier went to get it. He returned, very disgruntled, following a trip in 100-degree heat to the motor pool, a Saudi convenience store and two Saudi gas stations.

"Well, I guess I'm a failure," he said. "I've been all over Saudi Arabia and I can't find a quart of oil."
