A trucker pulls over at a diner and orders a cheeseburger, a cup of coffee, and one slice of cherry pie. While he’s waiting for his food, three huge bikers come in.

When the trucker’s food comes, he doesn’t get the chance to eat it. The first biker takes the trucker’s cheeseburger.

The second biker takes the trucker’s coffee. And the third biker takes the trucker’s slice of cherry pie.

The trucker says nothing, gets up, and walks out of the diner.

A guy at the counter says to the cashier, “Wasn’t really much of man, huh? He didn’t do anything.”

…

..

.

The cashier only replies, “Yeah, not much of a driver either. He just backed into three motorcycles while pulling out of here.”

It was early morning at the military base, and the first sergeant was calling out names for the daily work parties listed on a piece of paper:

“Ames” “Here!” “Jenson” “Here!” “Jones” “Here!” “Magersky” “Here!” “Seeback”

No answer.

“Seeback!”

No answer was heard again.

“SEEBACK!!!” The troops remained totally silent.

At that point, someone whispered into the first sergeant’s ear. He looked again at what the last name really said, quickly turned over the list and continued calling the names printed on the other side.

A new general was allotted to a new army base.

After some time in the base he realized how there were two army men guarding an empty bench in shifts. He asked his colleagues and his juniors what it was all about.

A colleague said “I don’t know but it’s been a tradition here since joined 35 years ago.”

The general confused as he was went through the past generals of that base till he found the one that was in charge 35 years ago.

He attempted to find him, and found that he had retired and he lived in the countryside now. He contacted him and requested to meet.

On the day of the meeting the general asked the retired commander why that bench was guarded so much. The commander was shocked.

“So you’re telling me the paint on that bench hasn’t dried yet?!”
