During training exercises, the lieutenant who was driving down a muddy back road encountered another jeep stuck in the mud with a red-faced Colonel at the wheel.
"Your jeep stuck sir?" asked the lieutenant as he pulled alongside.
"Nope," replied the Colonel, coming over and handing him the keys, "Yours is."

Keys? 
Re: Humor - RHIP
Maybe the keys to the padlock for the chain used to lock the steering wheel in the motor pool. Funny otherwise.

Re: Humor - RHIP
Reminds me of one I saw years back in Readers Digest. A Major, A First Sergeant and a PFC where to going to a meeting in a Staff Car. It started raining and then the PFC mentioned that the vehicle was low on gas, and asked to stop and get gassed up. The Major and First Sergeant said "No keep going, we have to get to the meeting." About 20 minutes later the PFC again mentioned they were really getting low on gas and should stop and fill up. Again the answer was "No" keep going about 15 minutes later the PFC again mentioned the need for gas and the Major remarked, "Private why are you so worried about getting gas?" The PFC replied, " Well sir there is a Major, a First Sergeant and a PFC in this sedan. When it runs out of gas who is going to have to get out and go get the Gas." Just shows who is thinking ahead. Have good day.

The proper response from the Lt. when he drove up would be, "sir, here is the jeep you called for."

In sort of the exact opposite......
Real story from WW2.
Fleet at sea in the Pacific. Line of guys (long line) patiently waiting to get ice cream. They're on the carrier and fleet flagship, so it has some amenities.
Two new ensigns blow the line with comments somewhere around "officers first" "RHIP" etc (which is the exact OPPOSITE of how they are trained) when a gravelly voice calls out "get in the back of the line".
They turn around and start chewing out whichever guy tried to give them an order and find themselves confronted by Admiral Halsey, the fleet commander...... well back in the line waiting his turn.
1 butter bar vs 3 stars, yeah, that didn't go down well.
