Let Me Taste The Soup
Ato disobey a command of a colonel is to invite disaster, as many a green rookie had leaned.
One morning on a tour of inspection a colonel stopped at the kitchen of one of the companies, where he net two K.P s with a large soup kettle.
“Let me taste that soup.” He bellowed. One of the men hurried back after a large spoon, which he handed respectfully to the colonel.
The officer plunged the ladle into the pot, took a mouthful of the steaming liquid, and smacked his lips critically. Then he let out a howl that could be he ard half a mile away.
“Soup, you blasted fool, do you call that soup?”
“no, isr colonel, that’s just some dish water we were carrying out.”

“让我尝尝那锅汤。”他大声地说。一个炊事员马上拿来了勺子，恭敬地递给了上校。上校把勺子伸进锅内，盛了一勺汤放进口中，咂了咂嘴，接着发出了一声半英里之外都能听见的咆哮。
“汤？你们这些饭桶，你们称它为汤？”
“不是的，长官，上校，那里面是我们打算倒掉的洗碗水。
