There's no way I couldn't laugh the guy behind him has a way stronger control over his laughter than me

[@cerealfreakonline]

Can't believe no one picked up his cap, and that's a true friend behind him there laughing away.

[@androidtablet9163]

Nope, possibly the third soldier picked it.

[@user-jl6or8gu7p]

One of the soldiers did pick it up, as they were marching away.

[@MichaelAuthorAllAges]

Zomg, roflmao! Sorry, I can't help it. Home sick today and I needed that. Somehow it makes me think of how all the monkeys in the tree steal the peddler's cap, in the little book, Caps for Sale. Just popped into my mind! Tee hee! :)
