Tee hee... It sooo reminds me of an old Polish one:

A major at a boot camp intercepts a telegram: the mother of one of the recruits tells her son that his father had died; he needs to come home for the funeral. The major wants to pass the bad news on. He calls the sergeant of the recruit platoon and asks him to deliver the news, as gently as possible. The sergeant says it's no problem, he'll do it.

Next morning, all the recruits are lined up in a formation for the roll-call and the sergeant yells:
"All those with living fathers... Steeeep Out!"
They do, among them the one whose father had just died.

The sergeant looks over the line, comes to the boy and says: "and what the eff do you think *you* are doing here?"
