 Book 36 Page2

All in a days work

So what are we here for private?

Well they say that their testing a new weapons device.

When the sergeant shouts “glasses” we’re all suppose to put on our glasses and turn our backs the other way.

Sounds easy enough!

Are we still ganna get paid our normal wage?

Apparently so!

Ah the boss is a sucker sometimes.
