Although I knew our commanding officer hated doling out weekend passes, I thought I had a good reason.   "My wife is pregnant and I want to be with her, " I told the CO.  Much to my surprise, he said, albeit curtly, "Permission granted."  Inspired by my success, a fellow soldier also requested a weekend pass.   His wife wasn't pregnant.    So when the CO asked why he should grant him permission, my friend responded, "My wife is getting pregnant this weekend and I want to be with her."
