The Marine, going home on leave was tired and sleepy from a long train ride in a miserable old day-coach. On top of this, two fussy old ladies were keeping him awake with argument about a window.
One wanted it closed and the other wanted it open. This fuss
finally brought the conductor. "Conductor," said one, "if
that window is opened, I'll just freeze to death!"
"And if it is kept closed," whined the other, "I'll suffocate."
The poor conductor didn't know what to do and finally turned to
the Marine for help. "What would you do, Sergeant, if it were a military problem?"
"In the Corps we handle such problems like a double-prong attack. Open the window and freeze one of them, then close it and suffocate the other."
