A Joke I Found

This is a joke I found on someone else's blog.
It's quite funny actually ...

A soldier in the army was transferred to a new post, and his officer commanding sent with him a letter to his new superior stating that the man was a recalcitrant gambler.

“Your reputation precedes you, I hear you’re a great gambler,” remarked the soldier’s new officer. “What do you bet on?”

“Sir, I bet on everything and anything. For example, I’ll bet with you $30 that you have a birth-mark on your backside.”

The officer, forgetting his dignity under the temptation of an easy $30, said, “I’ll take you up on that,” whereupon he dropped his pants and quickly won $30.

The officer wrote to the soldier’s former commander and told him of the incident.
The former commander wrote back: “This guy hasn’t changed a bit. He has won $100 from me. Before he left, he betted with me that within 10 minutes of meeting you, he’d have your pants off.”

    I'm sorry about that. I could tell the song was sad but obviously could not understand the wording. I took down your url so I can come by again. Thanks for saying hi.

    Hey, to the guy at the top with the Chinese name, I noticed out of your 5 blogs 3 or 4 have English names. Why don't you do a blog in English? One of the best things about blogging, surely, is that you can make friends all over the world ...

    To the person at the top again I suppose it sounds rude to say you should blog in English. All I meant was I'd be interested to read what you had to say. That Chinese looks so busy! Always makes me wonder what's going on ...
