An Awkward Situation
A soldier was sentenced to death for abandoning his sentry post. He pleaded, "Your Majesty, I never intended to leave. With only five minutes left on my watch, two squirrels appeared out of nowhere. They gnawed at my trouser legs, but I stood still. They climbed up inside my trousers, and I still didn't move. But when I heard them discussing, 'Which nut shall we eat first?' how could I possibly stay still?"
