A soldier undergoing training in Fort Benning, Georgia was one day put in a difficult situation. He received a package from home containing cookies, one of those things that the trainees were not allowed to have in the campsite.
After a roll call, the drill sergeant found out this soldier’s offense. Therefore, the sergeant gave him a choice of throwing the cookies out or eating them while he did one-arm pushups. To everyone’s surprise, he chose the latter. As everyone watched in amazement, the soldier looked up and said through a mouthful of cookies, “This is a breeze compared to what my mother would do if she heard that I threw her cookies out.”
