[Remembering the 150th anniversary of the start of the War of Northern
Aggression, we include an actual bit of humor from the period]

Two privates were discussing how inedible the hardtack was. One commented,
"Say Bill, I hear the first sergeant of Company A bit into his hardtack
yesterday and hit something soft. You know what it turned out to be?

The other fellow answered "I reckon it was a worm."

The first fellow replied "Naw, it was a ten penny nail."
