" Hand Salute "

 

A Navy Captain and a Lieutenant were walking down the sidewalk on base.  Enlisted personnel approached and saluted the officers,and the officers returned the salute.

The Lieutenant exclaims, "You too".
The Captain wondered what it meant but said nothing. A while later, more enlisted personnel approached and saluted the officers and the officers returned the salute.

The Lieutenant again says, "you too".
For a third time, enlisted personnel neared close and saluted the officers. The officers returned the salute.

The Lieutenant again says, "You too".

The Captain wheels around and asks the Lieutenant, "Lieutenant, what in the hell is this 'you too' business?"

The Lieutenant replies, "Sir, I used to be an enlisted man. I know what those guys are thinking".
