Roll Call

[marval]

It was early morning at the military base, and the first sergeant was calling out names for the daily work parties listed on a piece of paper:

"Ames"
"Here!"
"Jenson"
"Here!"
"Jones"
"Here!"
"Magersky"
"Here!"
"Seeback"
No answer.
"Seeback!"
No answer was heard again.
"SEEBACK!!!" The troops remained totally silent.

At that point, someone whispered into the first sergeant's ear.

He looked again at what the last name really said, quickly turned over the list and continued calling the names printed on the other side.

Bit like my late Mum who thought the harse Bar ran too often! Also my brother who wanted to know where random was, winners were always drawn out at Random! Makes my family sound unhinged though. I was the one who thought the footballers were clever, to be able to replay exactly the same match on TV later in the evening.

Oops M! it took me a minute... Then I Groaned, made me laugh tho. :)

When I was a kid I heard all the time people were going abroad for their holidays, I spent ages looking at maps trying to find this place everyone was going to. (still haven't found it)

The same dozy brother drove out to see us in Germany and asked why Einfahrt wasn't on the map, it seemed such a big place with so many exits off the Autobahn, Einfahrt means Exit!

Good story, reminds me of a similar one. The US Marine sergeant was calling out the names of new recruits, he got to the name Bluesky and there was no reply. When he'd finished he asked if there was anybody who's name he hadn't called. A large native American stepped forward and when asked his name replied Blue Sky.
