Here is a joke for my brothers in arms. What do you think?

Three Lieutenants were in the field when they ran into a raging river. While they tried to come up with a way to cross, one Lt dropped to his knees and began praying.

"Lord," he said, "give me the strength to cross this river." Suddenly, he became extremely strong and began swimming across the river, but the current was to strong and he soon lost all energy and was carried away down river.

The next Lt began praying as well. "God, make me fat so I can float across without using so much useless energy." Imediately he became overweight and jumped in. For a while he floated in the river and nearly made it, but again the current swept him away down river as well.

Finally, the last Lt called out to God, "Father, make me smart enough to overcome this mighty river."

Instantly he became an NCO. He pulled out his map and compass, studied it for a while, and walked three minutes north up river and crossed the bridge.
