I just read a joke from world war 1 The captain asks for a volunteer to go out in no man's land and retrieve a message that has come with a carrier pigeon. No one volunteers, except foolish Paddy. He says, ""I will go for my country!"". He then climbs up out of the trench, and all you hear after are bullets, grenades, bombs, etc. And everyone thinks Paddy has died. Two hours after Paddy comes back to the trench, and everyone cheers for his safe return. Captain: Did you get the pigeon? Paddy: Yes Captain: Did it have a message? Paddy: Yes Captain: What was the message? Paddy: *Coo! Coo!*
