3) So far back already
A great battle was taking
place during the First World War. Rifles fired and grenades and bullets were
flying around all over the place. After an hour of that, one of the soldiers
decided that the fighting was getting too dangerous for him. So he left the front
and started to move away from the battle. After an hour's walk, he saw an
officer coming towards him. The man stopped him and said, "where are you
going?" "I'm trying to get as far away as possible from the battle,
which is going on behind us, sir," replied the soldier. "Do you
know who I am?" the officer said angrily to him, "I am your
commanding officer." The soldier was very surprised to hear that and
replied, "My God, I didn't realize I’ve got back that far already."
