A great general purpose joke, and +1000 on Vic's comments.
Similar story from the memoirs of the British comic Spike Milligan. He was a gunner in a 7.2" howitzer outfit. After a particularly fierce night engagement in Tunisia, a captured German officer said, "... the fire from your 24 heavy guns was the most accurate and intense I have ever experienced". There were but four 7.2s in that unit. Spike's comment? "No wonder we were shagged out".
