THE ADMIRAL and THE GENERAL

A famous admiral and an equally famous general were fishing together when a sudden squall came up.When it died down both eminent warriors were struggling helplessly in the water.The admiral thrashed and floundered his way back to the boat, finally pulling himself painfully in. Then he fished out the general, using an oar.Catching his breath, he puffed: "Please don't say a word about this to anyone. If the Navy found I can't swim I'd be disgraced."Don't worry," said the general, "Your secret is safe. I'd hate to have my men find out I can't walk on water."
