Ray: "Throughout our first week of basic training"
Frank: Louder and funnier!
Ray: "Our drill sergeant--"
Frank: Stand up! Stand up!
Ray: Oh, come on!
Frank: Up, up! There you go.
Ray: "Our drill sergeant stressed to us the importance of addressing all officers with what he called 'a sir sandwich.' 'Sir, yes, sir. Sir, I don't know, sir,' and the like. A few days later, a colonel approached me in the motor pool to ask what I was working on. Using the sir sandwich, I said: 'Sir, checking the oil, sir, in these jeeps, sir, and, sir, checking the tires, sir.' The colonel laughed and said, 'Private, I appreciate your respect, but I don't need a sir club sandwich.'
Frank: Thank you, thank you, thank you. True story.
