I laughed so hard when I read this. DO NOT READ THE END FIRST!
A remote army camp in the mountains is assigned a new commander. During his first inspection, he notices that there is a donkey tied to a tree on the edge of camp. The commander asks what it's for. One of the soldiers who has been stationed there for a while explains that the men sometimes get lonely, since there are no women in camp, so they have the donkey.
After a few weeks, the commander is feeling pretty lonely himself, so he orders the men to bring the donkey to his tent, and he goes to work on it. After about an hour, the commander comes out, zipping up his pants, and says, "So, is that how the other men do it?" One of the men responds, "No, we usually just use the donkey to ride into town."
