Back in 1980 or so, when I was stationed at Aberdeen. My First SGT at the time told this to the troops before leave started....
Once upon a time a cat was crossing the railroad tracks, when he was almost all the way across a train came by and cut off the tip of his tail. The cat turned to see what had happened and got his head cut off..
now the moral of the story is. Don't loose your head over a little piece of tail.
it's stuck with me ever since. specially cause the First SGT could barely speak English.
