A famous admiral and an equally famous general were fishing together when a sudden squall came up. When it died down both eminent warriors were struggling helplessly in the water. The admiral floundered his way back to the boat and pulled himself painfully in from the water. Then he fished out the general, using an oar. Catching his breath, he puffed …
“Please
don’t say a word about this to anyone. If the Navy found I can’t swim I’d be
disgraced.”
“Don’t
worry.”
… The
general said …
“Your secret is safe with me. I’d hate to have my men find out I can’t walk on water.”
( Fin )
