This took place during World War 1 when most of the fighting was done by the Infantry in the trenches. Finally one morning the order came down and the commander informed his troops that when he gives the word they are to go over the top and confront the enemy head-on. Finally the order came and he yelled, this is it everyone over the top, charge. Immediately the men left the trench and ran into battle. The commander, as he looked around, noticed a soldier huddled up in the trench. He screamed at him, didn't you hear the order son, I said over the top now get your butt up and join the battle. The private looked at him and said I can't do that I don't have a rifle. The sergeant looked around and saw a broom, he broke the end off and handed the soldier the broom handle and said here's your rifle boy now get over the top. The Soldier looked at the broom handle, looked up the sergeant and said I can't go into battle with this and the sergeant said why not? He said because it doesn't have a bayonet. The sergeant pulled a piece of yarn out of his pocket and tied it around the end of the broom handle and said there, now you have a rifle with a Bayonet now get over the top. The private said how do I use this and the sergeant says you point it at the enemy and you go bang and a private says what about the bayonet? when the enemy gets close you take it and go stab. The private says so I'm to take this into  the battle and go bang stab and the sergeant says that's right son, now if you don't get over the top and join the battle I'll shoot you myself. The recruit understanding that he exhausted all arguments grabbed the broom handle with the piece of yarn and jumped out of the trench. After moving forward about 50 yards he saw a column of Germans coming towards him, he Shrugged and thought WTF pointed the broomstick at one of the Germans and went Bang. And to his surprise the German Soldier immediately fell to the ground. He couldn't believe it so he pointed it at another German and went Bang and he went down as well. So he kept moving forward pointing the broomstick going Bang Bang Bang and the Germans were dropping like flies. The Germans kept coming and as they got closer there was more of them so he started going Bang bangity Bang bangity Bangity Bang. As they got closer he started going stab stabbity stab and the Germans were just falling dead at his feet. He couldn't believe it but he kept advancing shouting bangity Bang stabbity stab bangity Bangity bang. Suddenly out of the corner of his eye he saw this huge German Soldier coming towards him so he turned and kept firing bangity bang bangity bangity bang but nothing happened he just kept coming. He got close enough that he had to use his bayonet stabbity stab stabbity stab Bang bangity Bang but the German kept coming finally knocking him to the ground and as the German rolled over him  he stepped on his chest crushing it. As the German walked past the injured soldier heard him saying,  tankity tankity tank.

Absolutely I will, I just never thought of it I'm so used to reading my own stuff that it never registered.

It was like a few days ago when I stayed up all night to see the fog.....
