Captain Obvious Meets Sargent General Generic

“They always do that when this happens.”
“We’re missing the subject of your statement, sir”, suggests Captain Obvious.
“We’re on the subject of sales, Captain.”
“But who does what when this happens?”
“Ah, right. The salesmen do this every time this happens.”
“Which salesmen?”
“All of them!”
“And what is it that they do?”
“They do this?”
“Could you be more specific, General?”
“They take extra breaks.”
“And when do they take extra breaks?”
“Whenever this happens, Captain.”
“And what is it that has happened?”
“Our systems went down.”
“You really need to work on your verbal communication skills.”
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
