THE HALL OF FAMOUS JOKES
            presents 
          Tact
               The 
            Commanding Officer at the army base calls Private Jones' Sargeant 
            in to his office. 
                 "We just got word that Jones' mom 
            has passed away," says the Commander. "I want you to break 
            the news to Jones. But don't just blurt out the news to him. Use a 
            little tact, ok?"
                 The Sargeant goes back to his platoon. 
            The men come out and line up for roll call.
                 "All soldiers with living mothers, 
            step forward," the Sargeant shouts. 
                 "Jones, step back."
