Motto of
recruits in the
military everywhere, but especially those in the
Bill the Galactic Hero books by
Harry Harrison. A typical
conversation on the first day of
boot camp went something like this:
Drill Sergeant: Okay! Who knows how to drive a
speeder?
Recruit: Uh, I suppose I do, sir.
Drill Sergeant: GOOD! Go wash the
latrines!
Thusly,
Never Volunteer.
