Battalion Cocktails…
An Army Battalion was having a cocktail party to welcome the new Brigade Commander.
A circular was sent out to all: “Cockfail at 7 PM sharp at the Officers Mess.”
The Commanding Officer saw the spelling mistake and asked the Adjutant to amend it.
The Adjutant did & it read:
“Refer to circular, read tail, instead of fail cock stands, as it is.”
