Pirelli, an amazing

The Latrine Holding Tank Is Full -
(Thule Greenland)
A US Air Force C-130 was scheduled to leave
Thule Air Base,
Greenland, at midnight during a winter month.
During the pilot's pre-flight
check,
he discovers that the latrine holding tank is still full from the last
flight.
So a message is sent to the base
and an airman who was off duty
is called out to take care of it.
The young man finally gets to the air base
and makes his way to
the aircraft
only to find that the latrine pump-truck has been left outdoors
and is frozen solid,
so he must find another one in the hangar,
which takes
even more time.
He returns to the aircraft and is less than enthusiastic
about
what he has to do.
Nevertheless, he goes about the pumping job
deliberately and carefully (and slowly)
so as not to risk criticism later.
As he's leaving the plane, the pilot stops him and says,
"Son, your attitude and performance has caused this flight to be late,
and
I'm going to personally see to it that you
are not just reprimanded but punished."
Shivering in the cold, his task finished,
the young airman takes a
deep breath,
stands tall and says,
"Sir, with all due respect, I'm not
your son;
I'm an Airman in the United States Air Force.
I've been in Thule,
Greenland for 11 months
without any leave,
and reindeer's asses are beginning
to look pretty good to me.
I have one stripe; it's 2:30 in the morning;
the temperature is 40 degrees below zero,
and my job here is to pump s...out
of an aircraft.
Now, just exactly what form of punishment
did you have in mind
for me?
