Insufficient Tact
Posted by: <@...>
A lieutenant was brilliant in military matters, but lacked a few social
graces.
One day he called a soldier in to the office and said "Kramer, your
grandmother died."
The soldier fell apart.
After he left, the colonel told the lieutenant, "You could have been a
little more tactful. I have some books at home that could help you."
The lieutenant read the half-dozen books lent him by the colonel and was
ready for the next crisis.
A few weeks later, Private Taylor's grandfather passed away.
The next morning, at reveille, the lieutenant said, "Men, how many of you
have a grandfather still living? Not so fast, Private Taylor!"

A car was involved in an accident on a street.
As expected, a large crowd gathered.
A newspaper reporter, anxious to get his story, could not get near the car.
Being a clever sort, he started shouting loudly, "Let me through! Let me
through! I am the son of the victim."
The crowd made way for him.
Laying in front of the car was a donkey.
