DRILL SERGEANT

The Marine Drill Sergeant noticed a new recruit and barked at him:

"Get your ass over here!! What's your name?" 

"Paul," - the new recruit replied.

 "Look, I don't know what kind of bleeding-heart pansy bull-shit they teach in boot camp these days, but I don't call anyone by his first name," - the sergeant growled. "It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my recruits by their last names only..... Smith , Jones , Baker. I am referred to only as ‘Sergeant’. Do I make myself clear?"

 "Yes sir, sergeant!"

 “Now that we’ve got that straight, what's your last name?"

 The recruit sighed:

"Darling, My name is Paul Darling."

 "Okay Paul, here's what I want you to do."
