Sgt. McGee: What's the matter with you Twardofsky? Don't you like our early morning calisthenics?

Pvt. Twardofsky: Well, I didn't like 'em at first.

Sgt. McGee: Oh, you didn't like 'em at first. How do you like 'em now?

Pvt. Twardofsky: I'm still on first.

Sgt. McGee: How'd you get in the Army?

Tommy: Politics.

Sgt. McGee: Is that a reason?

Tommy: Look Sergeant, I got three reasons for bein' in the Army. First, I'm patriotic. Second, I love my country. And third, they nailed me.

Pvt. Twardofsky: And that goes for me too.

Sgt. McGee: Listen, you two birds report to me immediately after this formation.
