You look great! Have you been working out?

A soldier left his weapon unguarded. This is indeed very serious. A higher ranking soldier found the weapon, and turned it over to that soldier's supervisor. To earn the weapon back, the supervisor exercised the soldier until he vomited twice. Normally, vomiting once is the standard for overexertion. Vomiting twice demonstrates the seriousness of the incident, without resorting to forms of punishment that can effect short-term income and long-term career progress.

Another soldier, a friend of the forgetful soldier, was out on a mission during all of this. Upon returning from his mission, he was informed about both the incident and its consequences. The next time he saw his friend, he went up to him and said, "you look great! Have you been working out?"

Needless to say, the forgetful soldier was unamused.
