Setting the Pace

The drill sergeant making his morning announcements to a group of newcomers in a training camp, stated: "Today, gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. First, the good. Private Brabant will be setting the pace on our morning run.'

With this the platoon was overjoyed, as Private Brabant was overweight and terribly slow.

But then the drill sergeant finished his statement: "Now for the bad news. Private Brabant will be driving a truck."
