Telephone man in the army - Military jokes (57067)





 


A telphone man joined the Army. As part of his basic

training, he went out on the rifle range. He fired 99 shots at

the target, and missed the target with every shot! His Drill

Instructor tried to find out why.



"What's the matter with you?" asked the DI. "Why can't you

hit the target? What were you in civilian life?"



"I was a telephone man," replied the new recruit, "and I

don't know why I can't hit the target. Let me see..."



The telephone man checked his rifle, checked his rifle

again, and checked his rifle a third time. He then put his

finger in front of the muzzle, pulled the trigger, and blew the

end of his finger off!



"Well," the phone man said, writhing in pain, "the bullets

are leaving here fine. The trouble must be on the other end!"
