Saturday’s smiles

A contingent of newly enlisted soldiers is camping out for the night.

As they settle down, the sergeant looks up and says, “When you all see the stars in the sky, what do you think.?”

One soldier says she looks for the Southern Cross and thinks of home.

Another says he thinks of how insignificant we are in the universe and such a tiny part of the grand design.

A third ventures to ask the sergeant what he thinks.

He replies, “I think someone’s stolen the blimmin’ tent.”
