During an Army war game a commanding officer's jeep got stuck in
the
mud. The C.O. saw some men lounging around nearby and asked them
to
help him get unstuck.
"Sorry sir," said one of the loafers, "but we've been classified
dead
and the umpire said we couldn't contribute in any way."
The C.O. turned to his driver and said, "Go drag a couple of those
dead
bodies over here and throw them under the wheels to give us
some
traction."
