George Washington’s Secret Mission of Death

From Our Humor Department

General George Washington: Soldier, I want you to know that I regret very much having to send you on a mission which in my generals’ opinion means certain death.

Soldier: Can I get a second opinion?

General Benedict Arnold: My opinion is that this mission does not involve certain death.

Soldier: Hmm. That is tied.

General Benedict Arnold: I know. I can break the tie. [Makes telephone call.]

General Lord Cornwallis: Hello. Who is this?

General Benedict Arnold: This is General Benedict Arnold. We’re sending a man to spy on the British. Does this mission involve certain death?

General Lord Cornwallis: Not before we question him first.

General Benedict Arnold: General Washington, he sided with me.

General George Washington: You win. I loose.
