A soldier was asked to report to headquarters for assignment. The
sergeant said: "We have a critical shortage of typists. I'll give you
a little test. Type this," he ordered, giving him a pamphlet to copy
and a sheet of paper, and pointing to a desk across the room that
held a typewriter and an adding machine.
The soldier, quite reluctant to become a clerk-typist, made a point
of typing very slowly, and saw to it that his work contained as many
errors as possible.
The sergeant gave the typed copy only a brief glance.
"That's fine," he said. "Report for work at 0800 tomorrow."
"But aren't you going to check the test?" the prospective clerk asked.
The sergeant grinned. "You passed the test," he replied, "when you
sat down at the typewriter instead of at the adding machine."
