In early years of World War II, three soldiers were captured by the Germans and thrown into prison.
However, the guard was rather kind towards them, and said, "I am going to lock you away for five
years, but I'll let you have anything you want now before I lock you away."

The first one says, "I'll have five years' supply of beer!" His wish is granted, and they lock him
away with his beer.

The second one says, "I'll have five years' supply of brandy!" His wish is granted, and they lock him
away with his brandy.

The third one says, "I'll have five years' supply of cigarettes!" His wish is granted, and they lock
him away with his cigarettes.

Five years later, toward the end of the war, the Germans come to release the three prisoners. First,
they release the one who asked for beer. He staggers out totally drunk. Then, they release the one
who asked for brandy. He also rolls out rather inebriated. Then, they release the one who asked for
the 5 years supply of cigarettes. He comes out and says, "Has anyone got a light?"
