The colonel thinks it's time he visited the troops in the base hospital - boost morale, check for malingering, etc. During his tour he goes into a ward for minor maladies, with only three patients. The ward is pretty bare except for beds and a small table in the center of the room with just a bottle of Dettol disinfectant and a brush on it.
Colonel approaches the first occupied bed, asks the soldier his name and role, then goes through his standard drill. "What's your condition, soldier?" "SAH, ATHLETE'S FOOT, SAH!" "What's your treatment?" "SAH, WIRE BRUSH AND DETTOL, SAH!" "And what's your attitude?" "SAH, MY LIFE FOR KING AND COUNTRY, SAH!"
He approaches the second bed. "What's your condition, soldier?" "SAH, HEMORRHOIDS, SAH!" "What's your treatment?" "SAH, WIRE BRUSH AND DETTOL, SAH!" "And what's your attitude?" "SAH, MY LIFE FOR KING AND COUNTRY, SAH!"
The colonel walks up to the third bed. "What's your condition, soldier?" "SAH, TONSILLITIS, SAH!" "What's your treatment?" "SAH, WIRE BRUSH AND DETTOL, SAH!" "And what's your attitude?" "SAH, GET UP EARLY IN THE MORNINGS, SAH!"
