“I heard you guys hate the food served to you at the Mess Hall.” The Serge said one day.
No one said a word for they all took a side glance at Alice.
“So, I decided to let the cook give you all a change of menu. Want to see it?”
“Yes Sir!”
They all trooped into the hall expecting nothing but the worse and they got it.
It was rabbit food.
“There! Now all of you can enjoy your meal without complaining about it.” he said with a glee.
“And it stops us from throwing away garbage pails of chow every day.” Said the cook.
“Any questions?” the Serge asked.
Alice picked up a carrot, bit the top off, munched it loudly and stared at the Serge with a goofy look in her face.
“Eh, what’s up Serge? The diet looks a little small for a military man like yourself I’m I right?”
Weather it was the joke or the fact that the she imitated Bugs Bunny accurately the cook and the rest of the soldiers in the mess hall laughed making his face turn as red as a beetroot set on the table.
The good news is, none of the recruits were punished. The bad news was, they were back to eating chow the next day.
