Terrible Sitcom Scenes #4

A: What's your army training been like then?

B: Well, the other day, we had to get up at five am, jog twenty miles with full packs, and run the assault course in under two minutes. Back at base we were flagging.

A: You were tired then?

B: No, we were pulling the flag up and down, repeatedly.

A: That sounds pointless.

B: Not really - there's a massive spike on top of the pole.
