Thank you, sir. But, uh, can you tell me where the First New York Regiment is?

About This Quote

It is a common mistake to say "sir" to a person of authority. In this case, the soldier was asking the officer where he could find his regiment so he could get back to fighting. But, instead of answering him, the officer thanked him.
