A question that used to be on the Army Officer's test was "You, a U.S.
Army officer, and your sergent are walking on the street and see a sizable
group of soldiers having a brawl, riot, and fight on the sidewalk.  What
do you do?"   The answer is "Tell your sergent  'Sergent break that up.'"

I take it the officer is an object programmer?
