The following is supposedly a true story. To be included, besides being true, the story is most likely strange, weird, surprising, or funny.Many folks have written with perfectly plausible explanations about why merchants take my phone number on a credit card charge.

My superior officer, a major, appeared one day, determined to speed things up.His solution was to scrape the crust off the top of the paddy and with it, construct the road. He quelled my protestations with a stern,? Lieutenant, *I`m* in charge.?He ordered a bulldozer into the paddy, but the massive monster sank in the muck.
