Seems there was a
young soldier, who,
just before battle, told his sergeant that he didn’t
have a
rifle.

“That’s no problem, son,” said the sergeant. “Here, take this

broom. Just point it at the Germans, and go ‘Bangety Bang
Bang’.”

“But what about a bayonet, Sarge?” asked the young (and gullible)

recruit.

The sergeant pulls a piece of straw from the end of
the broom, and
attaches it to the handle end. “Here, use this…
just go, ‘Stabity Stab
Stab’.”

The recruit ends up alone on
the battlefield, holding just his broom.
Suddenly, a German soldier
charges at him. The recruit points the broom,
“Bangety Bang Bang!”
The German falls dead.

More Germans appear. The recruit, amazed
at his good luck, goes
“Bangety Bang Bang! Stabity Stab Stab!” He
mows down the enemy by the
dozens. Finally, the battlefield is
clear, except for one German soldier
walking slowly toward him.

n
“Bangety Bang Bang! shouts the recruit. The German keeps coming.

“Bangety Bang Bang!” repeats the recruit, to no avail. He gets
desperate.
“Bangety Bang Bang! Stabity Stab Stab!” It’s no
use.

The German keeps coming. He stomps the recruit into the ground, and

says, “Tankety Tank Tank.”
