Pronto
 
A Signals Officer, who shall remain nameless, was giving his early morning briefing to his platoon.  They were all assembled on the car park outside the signal stores.  The car park that was shared with the MT platoon.
Looking around for something to stand on to make his delivery easier, he spotted a Land Rover with the tailboard in the down position.
Seizing his opportunity, the Sig/s Officer mounted the makeshift stage and began his speech.
He was not too far into his announcements when the door to the MT office swung open and a harassed looking Corporal came dashing out, he dived into the cab of the waiting land rover without a second glance, engaged first gear and made a racing start, ejecting Pronto, spread-eagled, face down onto the unforgiving tarmac.
Not one of us laughed, - honestly.
