A private didn't notice a young

lieutenantand failed to salute him.

The lieutenantsaid sternly,

"You did not salute me. Forthis you must immediately salute onehundred times."

Just then the general came up.

When he saw the poor private about to begin,

he exclaimed, "What's all this?"

The lieutenant explained, "

This ignoramus failed to salute me.

I'm making his salute one hundred times as a punishment."

"Quite right," replied the general smiling,"

But do not forget, sir, that upon each occasion you are to salute return."
