chief clerk jokes

somehow the funniest jokes emanating from camp seem to be all about Chief Clerk... (whom in most units, happens to be a pretty (hmm) old lady, with pretty much alot of power over the clerks, and with that, tons of attitude)

my chief clerk has this uncanny knack of being able to wear down even the most resilient and determined soldier down with her neverending tales and recollections of the past (which IS, to her benefit, pretty long)

aniwez, with an old woman in camp, it is unevitable that she becomes the butt of some jokes with her actions, like :-

1. Chief Clerk NEVER wears No. 4 because the one time she wore it, even the Malay stall auntie laughed at her when she came to buy food (mind you, those two are in cahoots, cos the Malay stall auntie ONLY allows chief clerk to enter the kitchen and cook her own stuff).. So yeah, even for the recent parade where everyone wore No. 4, she donned her nicely starched No. 3 and looked pretty out of place..

2. Chief Clerk took her BMI once a few weeks ago, and (i think u can guess) went on a "indignant-remorse-filled" diet cum exercise schedule which she held out for a week, where she went swimming with the HQ CSM and so on...and the next Monday, she went to the Malay stall and whacked out most of the oily, greasy, poisoningly sweet food that the auntie had to serve... hmmm

3. One guy (a former storeman) met Chief Clerk in the cafeteria and said:

"Good Morning Babe"

which elicited an utmost shocked look from Chief Clerk as well as passerbys whom frantically scurried away to avoid the impending woman's wrath... whereby Chief Clerk started ranting about how disrespectful that was and what kind of manners he was thought, and then she promptly hauled him to the RQ and ranted about him again, resulting in the poor soul (maybe he meant it) get confinement...

i dunno... what was wrong with that guy?! oh well...

so yeah.. any more? plz do tell..

frank

p.s. i found these pretty kewl shop at Great World City called WH, which sells pretty cool clothes (those currently in fashion now), as well as the clunky big belts that guys are wearing if they have to tuck in their shirts yet still look cool... hmm.. wanna buy one like one of the sergeants but dunno where to buy... hmm.. going to ask soon..
