Due to the current recruitment problem, the British Army recently recruited
cannibals to fill vacant posts in the REME.
"You are all part of our team now", said the CSM during the welcoming
briefing. "You get treated the same as all the other recruits, and you can
go to the cookhouse to eat, but please don't eat any of our other
soldiers". The cannibals promised they would not.
Four weeks later the CSM assembled the cannibals again. "You're all working
very hard and I'm satisfied with your effort. However, the ASM has
disappeared. Do any of you know what happened to him?"
The cannibals all shook their heads "No".
After the CSM had left, the senior cannibal
said to the others, "OK, which
one of you idiots ate the ASM?"
A hand rose hesitantly.
"You fool!" he continued. "For four weeks we've been eating 'Officers' and
no one noticed anything. But, NOOOoooooooooo, you had to go and eat someone
who actually does something!"
