Some people could really use a computer ...

There was a group of Russian soldiers close to a high, narrow ravine. The Sergeant goes close to the edge, looks down, then turns around and says:
- Soldier Ivanov!
- Sir
- Put yourself in this position:
- Yes sir!
- Now jump!
- I'm sorry!!???
- I said JUMP, soldier!
- Yes sir!, (and jumps)

The Sergeant looks down to the abyss again, thinks for a while and then says:
- Soldier Pyetrov!
- Sir!
- Move a little to your left!
- Yes sir!
- Put yourself in this position:
- Yes sir!
- Now jump!
- Yes sir!, (and jumps into the void...)

Again the Sergeant looks down, thinks and yells:
- Soldier Sidorov!
- Sir!
- Move yourself a little to the right and kneel!
- Yes sir!
- Jump!
- Yes sir!, (and jumps)

The Sergeant analyses again the situation and says:
- Soldier Strogoff!
- Sir!
- Put yourself in this position:

At that moment a jeep stops. The Captain in the jeep gets up and yells:
- Stop that at once!!

The Sergeant approaches the jeep and speaks to the captain:
- Sir, you undermine my authority when you overrule me before the men.

The captain replies:
- Sergeant Tchebychevich, I DON'T CARE!!!!! And I warn you, you'll be court-martialled if I find you playing Tetris with the soldiers again!
