The soldier asked for a furlough, so that he might get married.
"How long have you known the Girl?" His superior asked.
"A Week."
"Why, my lad, that is hardly long enough. I suggest that you wait a couple of months, and then, if you still want to get married, I shall grant you a furlough."
In two months the soldier was back, reminding his superior of his promise.
"So you still want to get married? My, My ! I did not suppose that a young man would stay interested in the same girl for such a long time nowadays."
"I know, sir. But it is not the same girl, sir."
