Fred & Jim had joined the army coz they were no good as anything else so they thought the army was a secure way of a job. Well it didn't matter what job they were given by the Sarge, they still managed to stuff it up some how. The sarge was fed up with them so he was looking for a job that was within their minute capabilities. It just happened that a donkey was hit by a truck & killed, just outside the barrack gates, so the Sarge got these two no hopers to dig a hole and bury it. So they dragged the donkey out onto the grass at the edge of the road, covered it with a tarp and began to dig a large hole to bury the donkey. As they were digging, Fred said that the animal was a mule, Jim said that it was a donkey. While this was going back and forth the Sarge came out to see what progress they were making, and just their heads were above the ground, still arguing what it was, so the Sarge said, "I tell you what, you are both wrong, it is neither a donkey or a mule, it is an Ass. Now keep digging & get it in there & buried!" Now just as they were nearly finished, along came the platoon's nosey parker who had to know everything, said to Fred & Jim, "Are you guys digging a Fox hole?" Fred & Jim looked at each other. smiled and said "No, It's just an Ass hole."
