“Next!”
“I guess that’s me sir.”
“You don’t have to address me as sir, you’re a civilian.”
“Sorry. I’m excited to be here.”
“We are grateful you have decided to lend us your expertise.”
“Well, since I heard you guys are looking for civilian instructors, I thought my twenty years of building the Zippy Burger Franchise across Canada could come in handy.”
“Oh really? In what way?”
“A number of ways. Logistics mainly. I could lend a hand teaching logistics to your supply department. Additionally, I could also have some of my nutritionists, chefs and cooks assist in the officers and enlisted men’s mess.”
“Please sign here.”
“A pleasure. So I’m in?”
“Of course!”
“When do I start?”
“Now.”
“What would you like me to do?”
“You see that ATC over there?”
“What’s an ATC?”“Armoured Troop Carrier.”
“Yes.”
“You see that group of men milling around?”
“Yes.”
“Teach them to drive it.”
“But-”
“Next!”
“Hello. It’s an honour.”
“What is your area of expertise?”
“I’m an engineer. Specifically, a car maker. I make engines for cars and trucks. I design them from scratch. I can describe each part in 3D. I can take apart any mechanical motor vehicle, blindfolded and put it back together.”
“Most impressive.”
“Thank you. When do I start?”
“Sign here.”
“There you are. What would you like me to do?”
“You see that line up of men over there?”
“Yes.”
“See those sacks of potatoes?”
“Yes.”
“Teach the men how to peel them.”
“But-”
“Next!”
