Lors de la visite médicale d'incorporation, un appelé raconte à son voisin de file une histoire de guerre, mais pas de n'importe quelle guerre, la guerre... aux sauterelles. Tout était arrivé dans un village menacé par des insectes. Les habitants décidèrent d'aller la nuit massacrer les bestioles en plein champ. Mais, fines mouches (!), les sauterelles endossèrent leur tenue de camouflage, narguant leurs assaillants. Enfin, un conscrit en distingua une, l'écrasa... mais assomma du même coup Monsieur le Maire sur lequel l’orthoptère s'était posé. Bilan de l'opération : un mort dans chaque camp, les pertes sont égales !
