Joining the Newfoundland Militia

A young man joins the military and is asked to report for basic training. When he gets there, the army is having a mock battle outside on the field. After putting on his uniform, he reports to the armoury.

The Sergeant explains that they are fresh out of guns but gives him a stick instead. "Run around", says the Sergeant "aim your stick and if you say 'bangitty bang bang! the other soldier you've shot is required to lie down and play dead.

Feeling like a fool, the new soldier goes out to the field and timidly starts running around looking for a target. He finally comes across an enemy, lifts his stick and shouts "bangitty, bang bang!". Sure enough, the other soldiers falls down playing dead. Thinking this was great our soldier starts running around with more confidence. "Bangityy, bang, bang!" he shouts. Another soldier hits the grass. "Bangitty, bang bang!" he bawls as another one bites the dust. Now he's having a great time.

He starts running down the hill aiming his stick right at a guy walking slowly up towards him. "Bangitty, bang, bang!" Nothing happens. "Bangitty, bang, bang!!", he shouts. Still nothing. The guys keeps plodding toward him. Frustrated, he shouts "Hey you! Bangitty, bang bang!" By this time the guy is right up in his face. The guy knocks our soldier to the ground and starts stomping on him. The last thing the new soldier hears before he passes out is

"Tankitty, tank, tank, tank..."
