GEN. MOSES & THE PONTOON BRIDGE


Yo! 14 cubits wide. Got it?

Yo! 14 cubits wide. Got it?

From the seasonally festive Battle Creek Law Offices of Law Bob Courtpants comes this endearing Army version of the story. I had no idea. It’s from a former Airborne weenie, so you have to take it with a grain a salt. A very large one, in fact.

Nine-year-old Joey, who tended toward drama, was asked by his mother what he had learned in Sunday School.

Well, Mom,  our teacher told us how God sent  Lt. General Moses behind  enemy lines  on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of  Egypt . When they got to the  Red Sea , he had his army build a pontoon bridge  and all the people walked  across safely. Then he radioed headquarters for  reinforcements. They sent in bombers to blow up the bridge. In the meantime, after the fighters achieved air superiority, they strafed and naped the Egyptian Forces. The A-10s took out the chariots and dropped CBU-26/49 delayed to impede their withdrawal.  It was a complete route and the Israelites made a brilliant tactical retreat into their homeland.’

‘Now, Joey,  is that really what your teacher taught you?’ his  Mother asked.

 ‘Mom. If I told you the teacher’s version,  you’d put me on restriction for a month and make me start seeing a shrink!’
