Compassionate Home Leave

A British Army colonel was reviewing the troops in colonial India.

One man he passed sported an enormous erection.

"Sergeant-Major!" the colonel shouted."Give this man 30 days
compassionate¹ home leave."

"Yessir," the Sgt. Major replied.

A few months later the same thing occurred with the same
man.

"Sergeant-Major! Give this man another 30 days
compassionate home leave," the Colonel barked.

A few months later, same guy, same problem.

The Colonel is angry. "Sergeant-Major! Haven't we given this
man two compassionate home leaves?"

"Yessir," the Sgt. Major replies.

"Then what's his problem, Sgt. Major?" the Colonel asks.

The Sgt. Major salutes² and says, "Sir. It's you he's fond of."
