Daily Dialogue — May 9, 2015

John Winger: Why’d the chicken cross the road?
Soldiers: To get from the left to the right.
John Winger: He stepped out of rank, got hit by a tank.
Soldiers: He ain’t no chicken no more.

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Graduation.

Trivia: The last sentence the platoon shouts during their performance at graduation, “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”, is a sentence that was popularly used to test typewriters and telegraph machines because it contains every letter of the alphabet at least once.

Dialogue On Dialogue: A different kind of graduation. But of course, it would be with Bill Murray involved.
