There were 3 army generals from America, Britain and Singapore
on board a ship. They were chatting and having drinks.
The American general decided that he wanted to show off to his
counterparts how courageous his soldiers were, so he asked one
soldier to dive into the shark infested sea and swim 3 full rounds
around the ship.
'Anything for Uncle Sam!' shouted the soldier, he then jumped into
the sea and promptly swam 3 rounds around the ship.
Once he got up, the American general praised his soldier, and
grinned at his companions.
'That, my friends, is courage.' he said
Not willing to be outdone, the British general called one of his
soldiers to swim 5 full rounds around the ship. The soldier
bellowed 'Anything for the Queen!' and promptly swam 5 full rounds
around the ship.
When the soldier climbed on deck, the British general smiled at his
companions.
'That, my friends, is courage.' he said
By this time, the Singaporean general was getting all worked up
wanting to show off how brave and courageous his own soldiers were,
so he called one of his men to swim 7 rounds around the ship.
The soldier stared at the general, then said, "KNN! you want lim
peh to go swim in that kanasai sea ah? I still paying through my
nose for my 4-room HDB flat and you liddat want me risk life so
that you can haolian to these cheebyes? You want show off go and
swim yourself la! Bo liao!"
Saying thus, the soldier returned to his room.
The Singaporean general flashed a wide smile at his friends.
'My friends, THAT, is true courage.'
