An officer with a lot of brass on his chest was angry with a soldier who played the trumpet in his band because the soldier looked as if he had not shaved for several days. ‘I shaved this morning, sir,’ the soldier said. ‘You can’t grow a beard like that in less than two days!’ answered the officer. The soldier thought carefully for a few moments and then said: ‘Well, sir, the mirrors in our wash-place are very close together. I remember taking my razor and putting soap on my face, but I may have shaved someone else with my razor.’

У офицера с большим количеством нашивок на груди разозлился солдат, игравший на трубе в его оркестре, потому что солдат выглядел так, будто не брился несколько дней. «Я брился сегодня утром, сэр», — сказал солдат. «Такую бороду нельзя отрастить меньше чем за два дня!» — ответил офицер. Солдат несколько мгновений обдумывал ответ, а затем сказал: «Ну, сэр, зеркала в нашей умывальной расположены очень близко друг к другу. Помню, я взял свою бритву и намылил лицо, но, возможно, я побрил кого-то другого своей бритвой».

Картинки подсказывают слова по смыслу шутки: у офицера много знаков отличия на груди, солдат играл в оркестре, а из-за близко стоящих зеркал мог перепутать отражения.
