A strict officer was addressing the new soldiers under his command. He began, "My name is Stone, and I'm even harder than stone. Do as I say, or there will be trouble. No tricks, and we'll get along."
He then approached each soldier one by one to ask their name. "Speak loudly so everyone can hear," he ordered, "and don't forget to call me 'sir'."
Each soldier answered until he reached the last one, who remained silent. Captain Stone shouted, "When I ask a question, answer it! I'll ask again: What's your name, soldier?"
The soldier, visibly unhappy, finally replied nervously, "My name is Stonebreaker, sir."
